Self-guided audio walking tour narrated by AudaTours that explores the hidden history of Reading across 15 landmarks.
The Reading Revelation Tour kicks off at Reading Museum on Sunday 8 November. It's a self-guided audio tour of the town's hidden history, and because you set your own pace, there's no fixed start time — you just turn up when you're ready.
The tour takes you through the royal secrets, lost treasures and centuries-old intrigues that sit beneath the city's streets. Much of it draws on the drama witnessed by the ancient stones of Reading Abbey and the shadowed corners of the Minster, and it leads you past 15 landmarks along the way, including Reading Abbey, Reading Minster, Holy Brook and St Laurence's Church. It's delivered by AudaTours, with a guide narrating the stories, all built from verified historical sources.
In terms of the walk itself, it runs for around 1 hour and 17 minutes, covering some 2.9 km (1.8 miles). You'll get up to 38 minutes of narration, which you download via the free AudaTours app and can use offline, so you don't have to worry about your signal dropping as you move between sites. Since it's self-guided, you can stop and linger at the landmarks that catch your eye or keep moving if you're in a hurry.
