Foudry Brook

From Baughurst the brook flows eastwards though Tadley and the Pamber Forest nature reserve; thereafter it turns northeastwards, skirting below and around Silchester Roman Town, and its name changes to Silchester Brook.

•

At this point the Kennet adopts the Foudry's direction of north to flow into almost the centre of Reading before resuming a more its eastern direction and flowing into the River Thames downstream of Reading Bridge.

•

After passing under the M4 motorway, the stream passes between the Green Park Business Park and the Madejski Stadium and football centre west of Whitley, where it provides the water for the meadow-landscaped lakes.

Pingewood

To the South, and running West to East, flows The Teg, which joins the Foudry Brook to the East of the Hamlet, which itself continues North towards the River Kennet South of Reading

Stratfield Mortimer

The Foudry Brook is crossed at the bottom of the village at Tun Bridge.

•

Strictly speaking, the village of Stratfield Mortimer sits at the foot of Mortimer Hill which rises westward from the Foudry Brook.
