One of the gates that allows access to the Chilterns coming from Reading, this bridge can become quite congested with cars and the two lanes per travelling direction often require cyclists some attention and care in choosing the ideal position to contend with fast-flowing traffic.

"William Marshal 'The Greatest Knight Who Ever Lived'
rose from being a younger son with no lands to become the Earl of Pembroke, the power behind five thrones and, finally, ruler of the kingdom. He died in Caversham on 14 May 1219."
This is how the celebrative panel placed in the middle of Caversham bridge (facing East) begins. It then goes on to tell William's story, from his birth, through his life to his death at over 70 years of age.

The current bridge between Caversham in the north, and Reading to the south, was built over the River Thames in 1926. For over 200 years in the 17th to 19th century, a drawbridge was in place following the English Civil War.
