From Reading station we walk through the ruins of Reading Abbey to the Kennet and Avon canal, which we follow to Fobney Lock and then on to the lakeside developments round Foudry Brook. From Reading Green Park we walk through the lakeland around Searles Farm to Burghfield Bridge and lunch at The Cunning Man. After lunch we continue along the River Kennet to Theale. Some of the walk may be muddy, especially in the wetlands beside the River Kennet.
