Feel free to copy and use any of the photos, but only on condition that you retain the Caversham logo that appears on each one. Most of the photos have been taken during April - June 2007, with the exception of a handful taken in Summer 2006.

Latest Update: Caversham Court details expanded. Balmore Walk
Scene of much blood-letting during the Civil War, and much dog-walking in more recent times. Good views from up here.  Caversham Bridge Vicinity
It's not the prettiest of bridges but it's quite an imposing structure nevertheless. There are some decent enough walks to be had around it too, the best probably being heading east along the towpath on the Reading side. Caversham Court
Caversham Court Gardens is a public garden fronting the Thames near the base of St. Peter's Hill. The Gardens originally formed part of the grounds surrounding the old Caversham Rectory. Central Caversham
It's easy to overlook the everyday, but there are still some decent buildings in central Caversham. Christchurch Meadow
Home to Caversham's war memorial (at the Caversham Bridge end), this is a much used and thus rather tame stretch of land on the Caversham side of the Thames, between the two bridges. But still, pleasant enough. Clayfield Copse
The copse is up at the top east corner of Caversham Park Village, bordered by Kiln Lane at its northern edge, and it's popular with all sorts of folks. |
 Mapledurham Playing Field
'Mapledurham Playing Field' may be its name but in truth it's more a part of Caversham Heights. (The main access is off the Woodcote Road, on your left as you head out of town.) Mapledurham Mill & Church
A lengthier but worthwhile walk from Caversham (just head off along The Warren and keep going), Mapledurham Mill and the nearby church both have claims to fame. Black Sabbath anyone? Michael Caine? Reading Bridge Vicinity
In effect, the other end of Christchuch Meadow from Caversham Bridge. St Anne's Well
The Holy Well of St Anne is near the top of Priest Hill, on the south side of the road. Dating back to medieval times, its mineral spring waters had a reputation for healing properties, and it became a destination for pilgrims. View Island
You could be forgiven for not knowing View Island exists - it's best reached by the footbridge from the Thames Path in Hills Meadow. |
