Woodcote Village Sign

Highlight • Monument

If you're riding through Woodcote you won't be able to miss the village sign by the Villgae Green and Cricket Club.

A thatched cottage on a green field takes centre stage in the sign between 2 different types of trees, a clear blue sky behind it.

The name 'WOODCOTE' is carved in golden letters in an arc above the cottage on the blue background, while at the bottom the sentence 'A CHILTERN VILLAGE 2002' is carved in the same golden letters on the green field.

Incidentally, Woodcote won the Oxfordshire Village of the Year title for 2008.

Caversham Court Gardens

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you are hiking in Caversham it is worth taking a trip to Caversham Court Gardens. Although relatively small, the riverside park is as beautiful as it is peaceful. There is a tea kiosk amongst the flowers and trees and its a perfect picnic spot.

St Peter's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Dating from 1162, the impressive church tower was partially destroyed in the civil war in 1643. It was rebuilt in timber and then replaced by the present tower in 1878.

Caversham Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

One of the gates that allows access to the Chilterns coming from Reading, this bridge can become quite congested with cars and the two lanes per travelling direction often require cyclists some attention and care in choosing the ideal position to contend with fast-flowing traffic.
