Bracknell is a town and civil parish in the Borough of Bracknell Forest in Berkshire, England. It lies 11 miles (18 km) to the southeast of Reading, 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Windsor and 32 miles (51 km) west of central London. The town has a population of 77,256 and is twinned with the German city of Leverkusen.
The town is surrounded, on the east and south, by Swinley Woods and Crowthorne Woods. The urban area has absorbed parts of many local outlying areas including Warfield, Winkfield and Binfield, and is itself, along with Binfield, a component of the Greater London Urban Area as defined by the ONS.
The name Bracknell is first recorded in a Winkfield Boundary Charter of AD 942 as Braccan heal, and may mean "Nook of land belonging to a man called Bracca", from the Old English Braccan (genitive singular of a personal name) + heal, healh (a corner, nook or secret place). An early form of the town's name, Brakenhale, still survives as the name of one of its schools. The town covers all of the old village of Easthampstead (though not all of the old parish) and the hamlet of Ramslade. Easthampstead has a very long history.
Berkshire (/ˈbɑːrkʃər/ or /ˈbɑːrkʃɪər/, abbreviated Berks) is a county of south east England, located to the west of London. It has also been known as the Royal County of Berkshire since at least the 19th century because of the presence of Windsor Castle and was recognised as such by the Queen in 1957 and letters patent issued in 1974. Berkshire is a county of historic origin and is both a ceremonial county and a non-metropolitan county without a county council. Berkshire County Council was the main county governance from 1889 to 1998 except for the separately administered County Borough of Reading.
In 1974, significant alterations were made to the county's administrative boundaries although the traditional boundaries of Berkshire were not changed. The towns of Abingdon, Didcot and Wantage were transferred to Oxfordshire, Slough was gained from Buckinghamshire and the separate administration of Reading was ended. Since 1998, Berkshire has been governed by the six unitary authorities of Bracknell Forest, Reading, Slough, West Berkshire, Windsor and Maidenhead and Wokingham. It borders the counties of Oxfordshire (to the north), Buckinghamshire (to the north-east), Greater London (to the east), Surrey (to the south-east), Wiltshire (to the west) and Hampshire (to the south).

This was taken only an hour and 4 minutes ago, and I decided to upload it. Just got back from the Fair, and it was semi-enjoyable. Not the largest Bracknell Fair, but considering it was a good day, and some fun, hey one cannot complain. (26th April 2009 at 16:05 )
At one point in our lives, most of us have probably felt it. We want to do something new with our careers but, to do that, we need to first have experience. But how do you get experience if you can't do it in the first place?! Work Pairing, a scheme run by Jessica Tyrrell of Bracknell Forest Council, aims to break the cycle of "no work experience - no work" for the 16 to 18 year-olds of Bracknell. These young people are carefully matched to a local employer who specialises in the area of work that they're interested in. They join this employer for a work placement lasting for three-months, two days a week, with a further day each week spent improving their maths, english and general employ-ability skills in a very functional way that is immediately applicable to the world of work. What d...
