Easy and relatively well-maintained gravel stretch, this flat(ish) section is ideal for those cyclists who want to take a shortcut away from cars between Tidmarsh and West Reading, while not getting too far outside their comfort zone.

Bigger section tyres (from 32mm upwards) are recommended to make the ride more comfortable and reduce the risk of loss of traction, but tyres as narrow as 23mm are perfectly OK if due care is exercised.

This off-road stretch between Sulham and IKEA Reading is quite well maintained, wide and pleasant to ride even on a road bike (wider tyres offer more comfort and confidence, though) and offers a traffic free shortcut to Theale coming from Tidmarsh/Pangbourne and vice-versa.

Coming from Sulham towards Theale you can see to your left the Wilder's Folly tower, built in 1769 by Reverend Henry Wilder.

A little uncomfortable with a road bike, but a nice shortcut to avoid the more trafficed route from Tidmarsh via Theale High Street.
