Newbury is a medium-sized market town with a population of over 41,000, and is situated in the county of Berkshire. Being famed for it’s relations to various events throughout history, Newbury receives ample but sometimes calamitous traffic during some parts throughout the year, especially summer. Though learner drivers needn’t worry as Newbury is a great place to learn how to traverse in places that intertwine the old and new together.
