Why did no one ever tell me there's a Wolf Conservation Park near Reading[1]?

Even granted that a) Berkshire[2] is full of small villages and b) it's not open to the public, you have to be a member, it's still REALLY NEAR HERE.

Pronunciation guide for North Americans: [1] RED-ding, [2] BARK-sher.

berks-hire is an acceptable pronunciation if you have relatives who live there that you want to wind up.

Cool.

Is it BARK-sher rather than BARK-sheer though? (I just Googled that and apparently BARK-shuh, BARK-sher and BARK-sheer are all ok...)

I think that depends on accent. I say BARK-sher, but some UK accents pronounce -shire as '-sheer' (I think my northern grandparents would've, for example).
