Bracknell is actually a Saxon word that means Bracken covering Hiding Place. The town has a rich history as evidenced by the old buildings that can still be seen today. With the redevelopment of Bracknell to further meet the demands of the new century, more and more businesses are considering the area as an attractive place to further develop their companies. In fact, Bracknell has already enticed some big name companies to relocate and establish headquarters in the town.
