Lower Basildon, Reading RG8 9NR Rated 4.5/5 stars on TripAdvisor, the National Trust park is a country house surrounded by glorious parkland. Although it is currently open, One recent review said: This will definitely be a place we regularly visit as a family. The first climb up from the car park is quite steep (heed pram pushers!) but the house is beautiful - from the outside of course. The walks around the grounds are very clearly signposted and perfect for young children. Lots to see and logs and stumps to balance along. The kiosk near the car park serves a decent fare and we strongly recommend the flapjack!
