Thames Path - Goring to Reading

From Goring station the walk drops down to the River Thames and initially follows the NE bank. There's will be good views of the river for the first 2mls before entering woodland. On reaching Whitchurch on Thames (4.8mls) we will cross over to Pangbourne and follow the SW bank closely through open countryside untill we reach the Purley on Thames lock (7.2mls).  Here we must walk away from the river through an urban area for about 30mins before returning to the river (8.6mls). As the walk approaches Reading the path joins the Reading promenade and passes under the Caversham bridge before crossing the river close to the train station (12.0mls).
