About

I set up Terry's Reading Walkabouts (guided walks) to be non-profiting with the following aims/objectives - to get myself fitter, to pass on my love of local history, culture, famous people, myths, battles, gardens, architecture, gardens, buildings, events and so much more in a fun way;  I have lived in Reading all my life (my parents before me) & feel that so many people now living or travelling to Reading do not know about  its History, Heritage, Culture & what it has to offer; I greatly enjoy meeting & helping people,I cannot think of a better way of doing this then hosting Terry's Reading Walkabouts; to raise monies for mostly local charities

Please arrive 10 mins early for signing in etc. Please Message or ring/text me 07505351517 if any questions or wish to book more than 1 place.

Please see my new Website - https://readingwalkingtours.co.uk/ & https://www.facebook.com/terrysreadingwalkabouts/events
