Embark on an easy 2.3-mile (3.6 km) hike through the Kings Meadow, Christchurch Meadow & River Thames loop from Reading. This route, which takes about 55 minutes to complete, features a gentle 39-foot (12 metres) elevation gain, making it perfect for a relaxed outing. You will enjoy open fields and pleasant riverside views as you stroll through large green spaces like King's Meadow and Christchurch Meadows, experiencing a blend of natural beauty and urban convenience.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as the trail is easily accessible from Reading train station. If you prefer to drive, nearby parking options are available. Before you head out, it is a good idea to check local conditions, especially after heavy rainfall. Parts of the meadows and river paths, particularly King's Meadow and Christchurch Meadow, can be prone to flooding, so be prepared.
As you follow the path, keep an eye out for local wildlife such as swans and herons along the River Thames. The route also takes you across several of Reading's bridges, including the notable Christchurch Bridge, offering different perspectives of the river and its surroundings. This accessible loop provides a refreshing escape right from the heart of Reading.
