Newbury isn't quite a city admittedly, but it does deserve a write up. It not only boasts a wonderful race course, but a high street and shopping centre filled with national and local shops. near the high street is a river, where you can sit and have your lunch, while feeding the ducks (if you like). A selection of cafes locally (and information board) offer you everything you need for a nice summers afternoon. The shopping centre (under cover one), has a few shops, and is not one of the best, BUT is better than nopthing. The shopping street has a wide selection of stores, such as Tesco's, Wh Smith's etc. A visit is highly recommended!

I live in Newbury and its not that nice a place, shopping wise we have very little and most of us go to Reading. There is no longer a cinema as i has been turned in to yet another Health club. nearest cinemas now being 12 miles away in either Reading or Basingstoke. The place is full of health clubs and cafes. The cost of housing and living here is one of the highest in the UK. Nightlife, well forget it,there are one or two nightclub but they are dumps and full of kids. The only decent thing about Newbury is the pictuesque scenery a short drive outside the town and a few places of interest within 5 miles of the town centre.
