University Heritage Trail - Earley Gate
Reading Walks Festival 2024
The walk will take us from the campus entrance through buildings to the Friends Bridge over the lake, then on through the Wilderness to the Harris Garden entrance, passing the site of Wilderness House, sadly now demolished, and returning via The Citadel, the purpose built war room built in the 1950s as a regional government outpost.
