Bullbrook is a Berkshire village which has been transformed into a suburb of Bracknell. It lies close by Winkfield, of whose parish it once was a part. Bulbrook is named after the Bull Brook which runs through the area, although most of the brook now runs underground in culverts. Bullbrook is one of the earlier estates of Bracknell and was built in the late 1950s.

The estate lies largely north of the A329 road and its borders begin immediately east of Bracknell town centre. Facilities include a small shopping centre, a community centre, several public houses and Holly Spring school. Lily Hill Park is an extensive area of woodland and historic parkland.[1] Within the park is Lily Hill House, built between 1814-1817 and now used as a business centre.[2]

The eastern industrial area is a business area. The Royal Berkshire Bracknell Clinic is at Brants Bridge.[3]
