Reading’s Milling Heritage: March Guided Walk

The "Reading's Milling Heritage" walk launched in 2024 is back for 2025.

Margaret Simons, Mills Archive Trustee and historian, will guide attendees around various mill sites, narrating more about Reading’s milling heritage, associated structures and town history along the way.

The walk starts at Watlington House, a Grade II* listed building and home to the Mills Archive Trust, who have used their archive to develop the route. The Trust is an educational charity and a repository to over three million records on milling. The walk leaflet also includes information on Reading’s renewable energy sites and how to visit.

This guided walk will take place on Wednesday 26th March, from 10:30am to 12:30pm. The event will last for around 2 hours, and pre-booking is essential as spaces are limited. There is a step-free route if required.
