Part of the Silchester Trail

This pond is nestled within the woodland of Benyon's Inclosure. There is an embankment with a track that runs across the pond offering a pleasant pathway to stroll out, take in the views, and observe the surrounding wildlife.

Found inside the lovely church of St Mary’s near Silchester. Nil desperandum - my new motto for hills

This is a fantastic country pub located on the banks of the River Kennet near Woolhampton. The pub has existed since 1850, and serves up a range of delicious dishes as well as cask ales. A great place to stop on a long walk.

Great food and nice atmosphere

St Mary the Virgin at Silchester sits at the top of Church Lane, a quiet single track road. This can get a little messy when the weather has been wet, with mud & debris running into the road and in parts forming two 'tracks' through the mud. Just be aware. Likewise, if you do have the misfortune to meet a car (or tractor) there is little room for both. In the summer months, walkers are often encountered walking in the middle of the road seemingly oblivious to anything else. The roman wall around Calleva Atrebatum is very popular, especially as you can walk on it all the way round. That said, I find Church Lane, Wall Lane and Clappers Farm Road, all of which pretty much come together at the church, to be lovely quiet roads to ride on. I do enjoy the undulating nature of most of the lanes around here.

The Church of England parish church of St Mary the Virgin is just within the walls of the former Roman town [Calleva Atrebatum], possibly on the site of a Roman temple. The building may contain some re-used Roman materials. The building dates from the late 12th or early 13th century. [...] Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silchester

Nice and friendly country pub on the Kennet and Avon canal (as well as National Cycle Network Route 4), this is one of my favourite places in Berkshire. This pub can be easily reached by bike from Reading avoiding traffic via the canal towpath (which is where NCN Route 4 runs, just beware of some stretches were the path is uneven and needs to be treaded with some caution) and is set in a beautiful spot with a huge beer garden that is great for those Summer barbecues. In fact, on those warm Summer days I would recommend an easy ride along the canal to treat yourself to a nice Sunday roast and a couple of pints, followed by another easy ride back to town. The food is nice and warming and reasonably priced, dogs are welcome indoors in the bar area and in the garden and the staff are friendly. Bike racks to lock your bikes are also present, but they are on the road at the front rather than hidden away at the back, so not the safest of places if you are visiting in the evening and sitting indoors.
