Donnington is a pretty village in Berkshire with whitewashed cottages and a splendid castle, of which the 14th Century twin towers can be seen today. This Medieval castle cloaked in history has been visited by Henry V111 and Elizabeth 1. Close by is The Corn Exchange in Newbury, this entertainment centre is home to entertaining performances of Music, Drama and many exhibitions. Or maybe Highclere Castle is more for you, home to the Carnarvan family who discovered Tutankhamen‘s treasures, you may tour the wonderful house and share in the mysteries of Egyptian antiquities or even Napoleons desk on display, set in delightful grounds. West Berkshire Museum sits on the Canal Wharf in an historic building with a fine collection of coins, medals, costumes, textiles, toys and so much more. Or why not cheer on the winner, at Newbery Race Course, set in 360 acres of grounds where fine thoroughbreds run, or perhaps take your clubs as there is also an 18 hole golf course and a 20 bay driving range to try, add a Leisure Centre and swimming pool, and whether the winner is picked or not, ensures a terrific day. Donnington entices her visitor to return again and again.
