Three Mile Cross is a village in the Borough of Wokingham, Berkshire, England, around 3 miles (4.8 km) to the south of Reading town centre. Along with the adjoining village of Spencers Wood to the south, it forms a part of the civil parish of Shinfield.[1]The Village also is home to the Mereoak Park & Ride & Mereoak Park.

In the 1960s, the M4 Motorway was built and became an artificial barrier between the village and Reading. In the 1980s, the A33 Swallowfield Bypass severed roads to the Estate of Mereoak park lying in the Reading direction.
