A very nice, attractive park and garden in Caversham. The park and walking path along the river is on opposite banks. You can feed ducks, or just enjoy the green space or either walk along the river. Looks like the river is busy with canoyeing during the summer. If you going to drive to this park, the closest free Car parking is The Warren (behind the church). You will find plenty of car parking here along the road. I recommend this park and gardens. Thanks.

We walked from Reading to Cavershsm, partially along the River Thames to this beautiful riverside setting. The grounds are stunning, no wonder a couple chose it for their wedding reception. Do nothing, hang out with friends, stroll or have a picnic. We chatted around a table with tea and cake brought from a kiosk run by the Women’s Institute. Gorgeous cake! Check out the events coming up: church fete, dog show, theatre, and tours!

Very beautiful.. and serene.. I love going there with my son. Provides a very lovely view of Thames with ample sitting area.. only issue, i would say is Parking.. Nothing close by.. you have park either opposite side of River or somewhere else and then walk up to this place.. But a minor issue.. all in all definitely recommend..

Absolutely gorgeous area, clean and safe for kids, wonderful selection of flowers and the lavender out in full force at the moment, just a stunning and well maintained area! Lovely to be at the waters edge and not worry about my little one with the little fence. A lovely little area to chill and relax, lovely vibe.

A regular stop for my kids to feed the ducks, run around, climb the trees and play on the “slide”. Lovely spot to walk through, have a picnic or grab coffee and cake from the kiosk. The gardens are beautiful and the grounds well kept and very clean(mostly free of duck/goose/swan poop)
