Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Crowthorne is a small town and civil parish in the Bracknell Forest district of south-eastern Berkshire. It is best known for Broadmoor Hospital, one of three high-security psychiatric hospitals in England, which lies nearby.

The village was only a small hamlet until Wellington College was opened to educate sons of British Army officers in 1859, followed by Broadmoor in 1863. Crowthorne railway station, originally known as Wellington College for Crowthorne station, was opened in 1860, and the town grew quickly. In the 1960s, the Transport Research Laboratory opened in Crowthorne, and this is now the main employer for those who do not commute.

The Crowthorne urban area spills over into the neighbouring parish of Wokingham Without but the other half (perhaps more than half) is in the Bracknell Forest district. Edgbarrow Woods are between Sandhurst and Crowthorne.
