Route Description for Caversham Mapledurham Loop

Enjoy varied scenery on the Caversham Mapledurham Loop, which leads you along gentle climbs while unveiling lovely views of Reading. Setting out from Christchurch Meadows, you’ll head back in the direction you drove from, following a path parallel to Patrick Road. When you reach the road at the end of the field, take a left before turning right onto Westfield Road. Continue along the road before re-entering a field just after The Last Crumb. The rest of the loop follows a similar pattern: switching between country roads and countryside. You’ll know you’re near the end of your circuit when you’re walking alongside the River Thames. Continue looping around until you’re back at your car.
