Caversham Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

One of the gates that allows access to the Chilterns coming from Reading, this bridge can become quite congested with cars and the two lanes per travelling direction often require cyclists some attention and care in choosing the ideal position to contend with fast-flowing traffic.

Mapledurham House to Chazey Wood path

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

An easy on the eye and on the feet segment between Mapledurham House and Chazey Wood. At the west end, you will first walk on tarmac on a very minor road, which later changes into a comfortable track. For the most part, you will walk through farmland, in the valley, with some stunning views of beautiful, green slopes of Park Wood to one side.

Caversham Court Gardens

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you are hiking in Caversham it is worth taking a trip to Caversham Court Gardens. Although relatively small, the riverside park is as beautiful as it is peaceful. There is a tea kiosk amongst the flowers and trees and its a perfect picnic spot.

St Peter's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Dating from 1162, the impressive church tower was partially destroyed in the civil war in 1643. It was rebuilt in timber and then replaced by the present tower in 1878.

Christchurch Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

Arguably the nicest bridge in Reading, not cars to worry about and a great view up and down the river, can get a bit slippy in winter
