Scutchamer Knob is an ancient Iron Age burial mound and historic landmark on the Ridgeway. Along my King Alfred’s Way bikepacking route, it was a memorable spot to pause before the final stretch to Reading. 📜 Once a Saxon meeting place, this hilltop offers panoramic views of the surrounding Berkshire downs—a perfect blend of history and landscape. 🚴‍♂️ A short climb rewards you with quiet reflection and wide-open skies.

Little Wittenham Wood has been designated as both a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), reflecting its international importance for wildlife. The nature reserve is particularly important for the endangered species, the Great Crested Newt. This shy amphibian uses the many ponds within the nature reserve to breed, but it spends the majority of time in the surrounding woodland. Tucking itself quietly away in safe and secure hidden spots, you have to search carefully to find them. Much easier to spot are the dragonflies and damselflies which hover around the ponds. If you wander down to the bird hide, at the river’s edge, you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Kingfishers or Otters.

Nice little lung opener first thing in morning. Entry to wooded area was permitted, has a few dens inside and plenty of benches externally, views to take in are beautiful. on a clear day can see for miles

As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously common "war memorial".

Disused railway line, perfectly flat and straight.

This huge railway bridge crosses the River Thames here. It is locally known as "Four Arches"... because of its four arches. There are two parallel bridges here, in fact, so the bridge is actually two bridges. The original bridge was built between 1838 and 1840 for the main route of the Great Western Railway. The second, parallel, bridge was added in the 1890s. It's a very imposing and impressive structure, particularly if you are just immediately below on the river bank path here.
