Cranbourne is a village in Berkshire, in the very east of the county, sitting close to Winkfield, whose civil parish it shares.

The village lies near to Windsor Great Park and Legoland Windsor, and is approximately three and a half miles southwest of Her Majesty's home town, Windsor.

Cranbourne Chase overspreads much of the land to the north, east and south, dividing Cranbourne from Windsor Great Park.

Miscellaneous

Cranbourne was the location of a free school that eventually became Ranelagh Church of England School.
