Caversham
Caversham: Country, River & Urban Vibrance
Set to the north of Reading town centre, Caversham is a gateway to Oxfordshire and the Chilterns, an area of outstanding natural beauty. With a hive of independent shops, bars and restaurants, yet minutes’ walk from Reading main line station, set on the banks of the River Thames, it is easy to see why Muddy Stilettos voted Caversham “Best Places to Live, Berkshire” 2022
Country meets Rock ‘n Roll: Whilst the famous annual Reading Festival is held on the Caversham borders, each August Bank Holiday, The Fox & Hounds on Gosbrook Road played host to a gig by “The Nerks” in April 1960, better known as John Lennon & Paul McCartney. And it’s not just the Chiltern Hills that provides breathtaking scenery, an amble along the Thames Path, a walk-through Bugs Bottom, or a trip to Mapledurham are equally great for the soul.
