Walk details
We begin our walk by heading out of town and into the beautiful countryside, making our way through open fields towards Pinkneys Green.
From there, we’ll enjoy a leisurely stroll across the green and venture into the nearby woodland, where we hope to catch the fresh, fragrant scent of wild garlic in bloom.
Our walk will then lead us into Maidenhead Thicket, where we’ll join and follow sections of both the Chiltern Way and the Maidenhead Boundary Walk, guiding us back across Pinkneys Green.
Finally, we’ll make our way towards Cookham, where our walk will come to a close at the station.
