It is said that Wilder's Folly was built as wild romantic gesture by the Reverend Henry Wilder. He lived at Sulham House, while Jane Thoyts, who he was trying to woo, lived nearby at Sulhamstead House. The folly was positioned at the exact spot where you could see both houses. Take a look to the north as you can still see Sulham House today.

With its waterside location, The Cunning Man is the ideal destination for a walk along the Kennet & Avon Canal. Plus, despite being so close to Reading, it has the air of a country pub. It takes its name from the story of a local man who was considered a wizard.

At 87 miles in length, the Kennet & Avon Canal links Bristol to Reading. It is in part navigable canal and part Rivers; the Avon between Bristol and Bath, The Kennet at Newbury and the Thames in Reading. It's a peaceful place for a walk, just a short distance from Reading Town Centre.

Built in the early 18th century, Southcote Lock is situated on a cutting that circumnavigated the wiggling River Kennet. The mill was used to draw iron wire. It is believed the iron ore came from the New Forest.

Just a stone's throw from the busy centre of Reading is Fobney Island Nature Reserve. It is an oasis of calm with trails on either side running along the River Kennet. It is home to over 100 species of bird and as it continues to establish, since its creation c.10 years ago, no doubt it will become a haven for even more biodiversity.
