Holyport (pronounced Hollyport) is a suburban village in the civil parish of Bray (where at the 2011 Census the population was included), about south of Maidenhead town centre in the English county of Berkshire.
== Etymology == The name 'Holyport' originates from Old English horig + port meaning 'muddy market-town', although a local folk etymology holds that the village was a stopping-off point for pilgrims travelling from Canterbury to St David's. The first element had become 'Holy-' by the end of the 14th Century.
