About

College Town is a residential area located in the south of Bracknell Forest, near the border with Surrey. The area is characterised by post-war housing, with many homes built from the 1950s onwards. It is primarily a quiet, suburban neighbourhood with local shops and schools serving the community.

The area's name originates from the former Royal Military College, Sandhurst, which lies just to the south. While the college itself is not within Bracknell Forest, its historical presence influenced the local development. A notable local feature is the large, wooded area of Swinley Forest to the east, which provides extensive walking and cycling trails.
