People who live in the county have been voting for the most picturesque places in Berkshire, and we thought we share some of the most beautiful ones with you. 

One firm favourite was Combe Gibbet which is at the top of Gallows Down and near the village and civil parish of Combe. 

According to Visit Newbury, if you travel a little under 10 miles south-west of Newbury town centre you’ll find Combe Gibbet at the summit of the spectacular Inkpen Beacon. A

The surrounding area offers mouth-wateringly beautiful views across the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a number of scenic walking routes to explore.

Another person commented on our Facebook callout saying "Palmer Park has its moments" and included a beautiful street-lit photograph of the green area.

Another person suggested Forbury Gardens, a lovely spot in central Reading where residents and visitors regularly relax. 

Other suggestions largely focused on Reading were Pangbourne Hill, Mapledurham Hill, and Shinfiled. 

A further person simply wrote "Anywhere where the sunrise is," and we couldn't agree more!

Others suggested that Windsor in Berkshire is a particularly picturesque spot with lots to do and many a tourist attraction.

These include the magnificent Windsor Castle which is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. It is open to visitors throughout the year.

Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 40 monarchs.

Part of the Windsor Estate, Windsor Great Park is an ancient Royal landscape of forests, grasslands, lakes and gardens. Visit and you will discover 1,000 years of history including historical monuments, rare wildlife and National Collections of plants and Champion Trees.

An operational Estate with farms, vineyard, commercial forestry as well as residential and commercial lettings, the Windsor Estate covers approximately 6,400 hectares (15,800 acres) stretching for some 10 miles from Windsor Castle to Camberley and is home to a thriving business community.

Another person commented that Stoke Poges memorial garden in the spring is beautiful, although this does fall just beyond the border in Buckinghamshire.

500 gated family gardens are located within the Memorial Gardens.

Each was individually designed by Edward White to represent a 'home-coming', and in which are interred the ashes of some well-known people.

One of the larger gardens, the Ghurkha Memorial Garden, is in memory of the 4th Prince of Wales's own Ghurkha Rifles.
