Reading sits quietly along the Thames and Kennet in Berkshire, a town better known these days for its literary festivals and tech offices than for the abbey ruins that once made it a medieval powerhouse. Coffee culture runs deep here, with cafes tucked into nearly every corner of the town centre, while a growing crop of restaurants reflects its increasingly diverse population. For an overnight stop, a handful of hotels keep things simple and central for travellers passing through.
