Not a gravel riding track. Only suitable for mountain bikes due to the road conditions, big rocks, and large potholes. If you must ride a gravel bike here, do not cruise and always go slowly.

All cyclists are able to pass the toll bridge for free

Our local NT place we go here often. Morgaston woodland walks out of the back gate where you will also find a hide overlooking wetlands. Secure bike parking limited. Suggestion attach to wooden fence by reception and we will keep an eye on it but can’t be responsible. Highlight for us in this house is the chapel. Lovely lake but rebuilding work to a bridge in progress at the moment

Quieter than Henley and perhaps more beautiful.

Calleva originated during the Iron Age and became the centre of the kingfom of the Atrebates. After Roman invasion in 43AD, the town was enlarged. It thrived throughout Roman rule, but, upon their departure, the town was slowly abandoned. Today, the site is managed by English Heritage. You can visit the crumbling Roman walls and amphitheatre. Entrance is free.

Nice little spot to stop for a break.

As an additional side note, you can find a water tap on the North end of this segment, at the intersection with Lambwood Hill. See highlight https://www.komoot.com/highlight/2825574

I've come down this road a few times over the 4 different seasons and with each season the character of the lane changes. You have those nippy but sunny Spring days full with anticipation for the nice season to come, then long Summer days where you ride in the heat of the day or late in the evening, followed by Autumn, when wet and grey days alternate with those "last of the Summer" warm and sunny afternoons. In each season these lanes are magical, but riding through here early on a cold Winter morning (even though technically Winter does not start for another couple of weeks), with the mist just about lifting and the Sun struggling to come out from behind the clouds, was something else. As a side note, wanting to stay off the more trafficed roads, this lane (which is part of Sustrans NCN Route 23 - https://www.sustrans.org.uk/find-a-route-on-the-national-cycle-network/route-23/) is on the most convenient North-South path out of Central Reading - as others have already said, traffic is very low through here, but narrow roads precautions apply at all times.
