End of the Riverside Cycleway at Jubilee River

Highlight • Cycleway

This is where the riverside cycleway ends. Although the Jubilee river continues from here to Cookham, there are no paths or cycleways along it from here.

Jubilee River Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Jubilee river is a beautiful place to cycle. Miles of very natural scenery and surrounded by greenery. The cycle path is flat and good, but in winter can get stony and a bit muddier. In summer it is OK to cycle even on a road bike, but in all conditions a hybrid is probably most suitable.

View of the Jubilee River

Highlight • River

The track on the south side of the Jubilee River from Slough towards Eton is very poor with overhanging tree branches & rutted path etc. The track on the north side, accessed when you cross at the traffic lights at Slough, is much better and wider. Access to Eton is via the wooden bridge at the end of the track.

St James the Less Church, Dorney

Highlight • Religious Site

Dorney Common, still owned by the Lord of the Manor of nearby Dorney Court, has been managed in the same way since medieval times and some local residents are permitted to graze their animals here. After visiting Dorney Court, take time to look at the Church of St James the Less at Dorney, which dates from the 13th century. Note the Norman font, the 17th-century gallery, the Garrard tomb and the porch that was built in 1661 to celebrate the birth of Lady Anne Palmer.

Maidenhead Railway Bridge, also known as Maidenhead Viaduct and The Sounding Arch, carries the Great Western Main Line (GWML) over the River Thames between Maidenhead and Taplow. Plaque on one of the arches gives the detail better than I can - "1838. The Sounding Arch. I.K. Brunel designed this bridge. The brick arches are the widest and flattest in the world - each span is 128 feet with a rise of only 24 feet." Wikipedia notes that at the time people didn't think it would stand, and left the building supports in place. Eventually a storm swept the supports away, but the bridge still stood. And still stands today.
