The RG22 postcode is located in the Reading district of Berkshire, England, and covers a large swath of land on the north side of the town, stretching from around Mortimer to as far out as Bradfield. The postcode affords those living in the area close access to a variety of services, and the quality of the local schools is often considered noteworthy.
The majority of the land within the RG22 postcode is rural farmland, however this area is becoming more and more desirable to those wishing to move out of London and into the countryside, and consequently property prices here have been steadily increasing over the past few years. The postcode is located in close proximity to the A4 and M4, meaning drivers have easy access to London, Bristol and other nearby major cities.
Train travellers would be well-advised to take advantage of Reading's dozens of overground and underground service lines, and there is also a good bus network within the area.
For those looking for leisure activities, the RG22 area also offers plenty. Mortimer Common and its surrounding woodland are a popular spot for walking, hiking, and cycling, and there are plenty of outdoor and sporting activities to explore, including rugby, football and cricket clubs. The nearby towns of Burghfield and Tadley both contain a handful of pubs, restaurants, and shopping districts, making them ideal locations for those looking for a bit of entertainment.
Those interested in culture may find the small villages of Midgham and Churchend appealing, which contain some of the oldest churches in the county. Local wildlife, including deer and foxes, are frequently spotted in the area, and its many woodlands and meadows are a great place to watch birds. In addition, the nearby North Wessex Downs offer views for miles, and make excellent photography locations.
