Prospect Park, Reading
Prospect Park is Reading’s largest open space and gets its name from the fine views across the Kennet Valley and beyond,
which can be enjoyed best from the Mansion House. The regency white stuccoed grade II listed mansion (now a restaurant) is
set on a hill at the highest point of the park. The park has broad sweeps of short cut grass, with areas of meadow grassland.
A pond was created to the south of the house and attracts an assortment of wildlife, while ‘The Rookery’ can be
found to the north – a mature oak woodland and Wildlife Heritage Site.
