Historic Mapledurham
Reading Walks Festival 2024
Come and explore the beautiful hamlet of Mapledurham, tucked away in the glorious countryside right on the edge of Reading. Our 8.5km circular route has 3 hills and takes in views of Caversham Heath Golf Club, Mapledurham House and Mill, Park Wood and Chazey Wood. This is a fantastic route that will really get your blood pumping and will include a pause by the river and mill to soak in the surroundings before the final ascent.
