Three Mile Cross is a small village in the borough of Wokingham, Berkshire, sitting on the southern fringe of Reading - its name is said to come from being roughly three miles from the town centre. It has a distinctly semi-rural feel, with lanes and small pockets of woodland, and historically grew from an agricultural hamlet into a commuter settlement as nearby towns expanded.
Today the village combines local amenities such as a primary school, village hall and pubs with a largely commuter population who travel to Reading or London for work, taking advantage of good road links and rail connections from nearby stations. Residents often emphasise the community spirit and quieter pace compared with larger neighbouring towns, even as housing and development pressure around the area continues to shape its character.
