Goring - Reading via Kidmore End

This is one of a number of routes published by Goring Gap Cycling.

Highlights
Probably the quietest on-road route from Goring to Reading, frequently used by cycling commuters. 2½ miles longer than Goring – Reading Road Commute, but with easier hills.

Hazards
Busy traffic on the A4074 into Reading, particularly around the traffic lights in Caversham.

Hospitality
Shops and pubs in Woodcote.

Pub just off-route in Kidmore End 200 yd SE of the church.

Hints
Part of this route follows Sustrans Route 5. It leaves the Sustrans route in Kidmore End, as the Caversham section of Route 5 is unsuitable for commuting, with a steep flight of steps and a rough off-road section.
