Route Description

Starting in Braywick Park, Maidenhead, this cycling route initially follows The Cut, a waterway. We are following a route known as The Green Way and The Cut changes to York Stream in the middle of town, passing the town's distinctive library. The route then goes through The Moor, heading north to connect with National Cycle Network route 50 (NCN 50). This carries on through North Town Moor, all off-road until you reach the outskirts of Cookham at Strande Lane. From there we head the short distance to the centre of Cookham Rise on road where you will find the station and several cafes and shops.

The route then heads through a park to link up with the same off-road route home.

This is where York Stream meets Bridge Road, since this photo was taken new flats are being built in the background
