Reading Tips

Some of the countryside surrounding the town is glorious. Get out and have a look at some of the villages - Eric


Traffic here is ludicrous. Avoid generally, but if you have to you will get caught up in the monstrous one-way system inner ring road (known as IDR)! And if you don’t know where you’re going, you might miss the actual shopping centre – sounds silly but believe me it’s possible!!!!! - Cathryn
