    Swinley Forest would be a good place to start. Near Bracknell.

    For natural trails there's the Ridgeway to the north west and the Marlborough Downs to the west.

    Definitely go to Swinley Forest and explore.

    If you want local trails, then head north of Reading. Go to opencyclemap.org and centre on Caversham. There are some good bridleways going from Caversham by the river (Caversham side of the river, not the Reading side) westwards through Mapledurham and towards Goring. Between Whitchurch and Goring are some good trails. Also try the bridleways between Woodcote to the west, Stoke Row to the East and Caversham to the South. In that triangle are some good tracks.
