Self-guided audio walking tour of Reading's historic landmarks, including Reading Abbey and Reading Minster, delivered via the free AudaTours app.
The Reading Revelation Tour starts at Reading Museum on Thursday 12 November, a self-guided audio walk that takes you through the town's streets with the stories hidden beneath them as your guide. It's not a tour with a person leading the way; you set your own pace and follow the route on your own terms.
The walk covers around 2.9 km (1.8 miles) and passes 15 landmarks, with the ancient stones of Reading Abbey and the shadowed corners of Reading Minster as backdrops. Along the way, you'll come across Reading Museum, St Laurence's Church, Reading Abbey, Holy Brook and Forbury Gardens, and the narration runs up to 38 minutes. The stories it pulls out are the kind of things that usually stay tucked away: royal secrets, lost treasures and centuries-old intrigues, the sort of stuff that changes how you look at the sights you probably walk past every day.
It's delivered through the free AudaTours app, which you download once and then use offline, so you don't have to worry about signal dropping out as you move. Because it's self-guided, there's no in-person guide and no building entry included—you're just out in the open, taking in the town. It's pitched at solo travellers, couples, families and anyone who wants to know what actually happened behind Reading's most famous sights.
