What’s included:
Clear directions and easy-to-follow maps
Clues to crack (with answers in the back!)
Fascinating stories about Reading’s past and the people who shaped it
Available as a booklet or instant download for mobile or print
The Walks:
Walk 1: Huntley Wharf to Town Hall (1.5 miles) Stroll along the scenic River Kennet, past Oscar Wilde’s former prison, ancient ruins, Victorian gardens, and a 12th-century church—all ending at the grand Town Hall. (Not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs due to steps.)
Walk 2: Town Hall to County Lock (1 mile) Start at the Town Hall and wander through Reading’s historic heart—Broad Street, Reading Minster, and riverside paths—finishing at the peaceful County Lock. (This route is buggy and wheelchair-friendly with gentle terrain.)
All this for under £10—and it covers up to four people! Even better, use code List20 at checkout for 20% off all Curious About walks.
Nearby adventures include: Henley, Marlow, Oxford, Windsor, Guildford, and even London (Covent Garden, Mayfair, Soho, St Paul’s, Trafalgar Square).
Whatever the weather, whenever you fancy—explore, discover, and enjoy Reading like never before.
