King Alfred's Way is a 350km circular off-road adventure route through 10,000 years of history, connecting some of England’s most iconic sites. Reading is one of the key overnight stopping points on the route or a good place to join or leave the route via Reading Station.
In the printed guide to the route, Reading is the finishing point of Part 5, the Avebury – Reading leg and the starting point of Part 6, the Reading – Farnham leg.
Reading has great town centre hotels where you can leave your bike and enjoy some well deserved R & R, a meal out or just a comfy night's rest.
The route starts and ends in Winchester where Alfred is buried, and connects iconic monuments including Stonehenge, Avebury stone circle, Iron Age hill forts, Farnham Castle, and Winchester and Salisbury Cathedrals. Using parts of the Ridgeway and South Downs Way, the trail is ideal for gravel bikes and can be ridden over a few days as a bikepacking trip. It also connects with the Thames Path and the North Downs Way riders’ route, so you can combine multiple routes into a longer escape.
King Alfred’s Way forms a crucial part of Cycling UK’s goal to create a network of long-distance off-road routes across the length and breadth of Great Britain, through fascinating places and inspiring landscapes.
