At first glance, there is little in Horton to attract people. The other nearby towns have much more
to offer: Bradfield has its river and historic buildings, while Newtown has shops and entertainment. The
buildings of Horton look dirty and unloved. For shops, there is a small supermarket, a few bargain shops,
a bakery which, strangely, does not sell bread and a florist which has one stand of sad-looking flowers.
Even so, Horton has several advantages over its neighbouring towns.
Firstly, it has a country park. Four thousand years ago, this was an important fort. There are no
historic remains here now, but there are wonderful views over the countryside. On sunny weekends you
can often see kids out with their parents, kicking balls or flying kites.
There aren’t many job opportunities in Horton, and the roads to nearby cities aren’t really fast, but
there are excellent rail links. You can be in London in an hour and a half, and other cities are less than an
