Berkshire, county, southern England; Reading is the administrative center. Berkshire is largely a lowland drained by the Thames and Kennet rivers. Agriculture, especially dairying and livestock raising, is important to the economy. Industry is concentrated in Reading, Slough, Newbury, and Bracknell, the chief towns. The area contains relics of ancient occupation. The construction of Windsor Castle here was begun by William the Conqueror. Trade and commerce flourished in the county in the Middle Ages.
