The Drink Valley, Swindon

Afternoon

This Saturday I’ll be heading over to Swindon and Reading. Swindon is well known for its railway heritage and the historic Great Western Railway Works, while Reading is famous for its rich history, the Abbey founded by Henry I, and the annual Reading Festival.

I’ll be visiting a variety of micropubs, pubs and breweries throughout the day, taking in some of the best both towns have to offer.

If I’m planning to pop in and visit you, I’d really appreciate a share of this post — and if you see me out and about, feel free to come and say hello!
