Here is the entrance to the Harris Garden. Inside, you will enjoy a beautiful botanical garden where you can find ponds, a formal garden, a heather garden, a coppiced woodland, and a wildflower meadow.

Established in Victorian times, Forbury Gardens is a sweet haven from the hustle and bustle of Reading. As it is a walled garden, the noise of the town is kept well at bay. The statue of the lion is formally called the Maiwand Lion and was built to commemorate the local lives lost during the 2nd Anglo-Afghan War between 1878 and 1880. There is a local rumour that the sculptor, George Blackall Simonds, took his own life after realising that the lion's stance was impossible, as should the lion walk, it would fall over. However, this is not true as the sculpture is based on his observations of lions at London Zoo and he lived until he was 86.

Market Place was the site of Reading's weekly market from the 12th century right up until the 1970s. It is overlooked by St Laurence Church and the Simeon Monument (or Soane Obelisk). The monument was commissioned by a wealthy Readingite, Edward Simeon in 1804. .

The tower of the corn exchange is about the only remarkable building. In the market house restaurant/hotel you can have dinner in the old vault downstairs or on the rooftop terrace (though both can be pretty crowded/noisy).

St Mary’s, Sulhamstead Abbots, is part of a parish that includes Sulhamstead Bannister and Ufton Nervet. Worship has taken place on this site since 1189, possibly earlier. Most of the church is 13th century, with major restorations in the 15th and 19th centuries and a parish room erected in 2000.
