This entry is really a “just for the record” blog entry. Visiting family and friends in the Thames valley we headed to Newbury / Reading and finally Henley-on-Thames.
Wednesday night was spent at the Harper Arms in Burghfield Common. Nice level hardstanding pitches at Burghfield Common’s only working pub. Great pies on the menu too.
Thursday we headed to the Caravan Club site at Henley-on-Thames; Four Oaks. It’s not the first time we have visited this site and it’s convenient to explore Henley-on-Thames and the rail / bus connections onwards are excellent.

Moe took the picture below of Twyford Station and the old station masters house on the left. This was one of Moe’s childhood homes, several decades ago!
Met up with friend Ian at the Alehouse in Reading on Friday lunchtime. Great real-ale pub in the centre of Reading. Pleasant afternoon, which technically started in the morning, and almost ran on into the evening!
I cannot find a listing for the Harpers arms, can you assist please.
It’s more of a private club… following the demise of Burghfield Common’s last pub, a friend of mine re-purposed his garden cabin as a pub. Complete with coat of arm’s, merchandise and a whole host of pub equipment. He opens it up on an invitation only basis and did serve authentic Sweeney Todd pies and it would under different circumstances make a great pub stopover!!!!
I can’t seem to find the Harper Arms on Google maps. What road is it on please?
