Reading (pronounced Redding) is a large town in the Royal County of Berkshire, sitting astride the mighty River Thames, and the delightful River Kennet. Dating back to the 6th century it is renowned for its 12th century abbey, the fabulous Forbury Gardens, delightful waterways, an impressive Town Hall, fast links to London and a plethora of shops, bars and restaurants. Bustling with people, the shopping streets are always busy, but just a stone's throw away are a number of treasures just waiting to be found.
