Bray, a picturesque village in Berkshire, has been hailed as the 'prettiest village near London' by a top UK travel blogger. Located on the banks of the River Thames, just 30 miles west of central London, the village is known for its famous restaurants, historic pubs, and scenic streets.
The village, situated in the Windsor and Maidenhead district, boasts a three-mile frontage on the Thames between Maidenhead and Windsor. It is approximately a 40-50 minute drive from central London, or a 45-minute train journey from London Paddington to Maidenhead on the Elizabeth Line.
Sharing her discovery on TikTok, the travel blogger told her 20,300 followers: 'This is the prettiest village near London. It's worth a special trip to try the famous restaurants and pubs here, but the village itself is what really amazed me.'
Bray offers a mix of attractions, including the Bray to Greystones Cliff Walk, the Bray Vintage Market for antiques, and the harbour for walking, fishing, or feeding swans. Visitors can also enjoy water sports like kayaking and paddle-boarding, or explore the Victorian promenade. The village is home to a range of cottages, fine dining establishments, and attractive riverbank properties.
