On TikTok, the blogger told her 20,300 followers: "This is the prettiest village near London. It's worth a special trip to try the famous restaurants and pubs here, but the village itself is what really amazed me."

Bray, occasionally known as Bray on Thames, is a pretty riverside parish with a three-mile frontage on the River Thames between Maidenhead and Windsor.

It's become a popular location for visitors in the Royal Borough with an array of cottages and houses, fine dining, as well as attractive riverbank properties.

Bray is located approximately 30 miles west of central London. If you're travelling by car, this can typically take around 40-50 minutes, while a train from London Paddington to nearby Maidenhead is about 45 minutes on the Elizabeth Line.

If you live near the M4, you can travel via the motorway.

The scenic seaside town has it all – from coastal walks to family-friendly attractions and vibrant dining.

You could walk the famous Bray to Greystones Cliff Walk, pay a visit to the Sea Life Bray aquarium or even explore Killruddery House & Gardens.

Otherwise you can enjoy the Victorian promenade. Meanwhile thrill-seekers could embark on a whole host of water sports, from kayaking to paddle-boarding and coasteering.

Alternatively, a much chiller idea could include the Bray Harbour which is a terrific spot for walking, fishing or feeding the swans.

Meanwhile the Bray Vintage Market is a unique spot for antiques, curiosities, and local finds.
