- Cerradura de Boulter. Boulter’s Lock, uno de los lugares más bonitos del Támesis Medio, se encuentra a pocos minutos del centro de Maidenhead. La esclusa es la tercera que se construye en este punto del río, data de 1912 y sustituye a una de 1772 y una esclusa aún anterior construida en el siglo XVI.
- Isla Ray Mill. Cruza el puente de la esclusa y se encuentra en Ray Mill Island, un encantador parque público en medio del río. «Ray Mill» proviene de un molino harinero construido en la isla en 1726 y derribado en los años 20.
- El arco del sonido. El paso del Támesis al sudeste de la ciudad es una estructura de gran valor histórico. Diseñado en la década de 1830 por el legendario ingeniero Isambard Kingdom Brunel para el Great Western Railway, era el puente de arco de ladrillo más plano y ancho del mundo en ese momento.

One of the prettiest places on the Middle Thames, Boulter’s Lock is moments from Maidenhead town centre. The lock is the third to be built at this point in the river, dating to 1912 and replacing one from 1772 and an even earlier lock built in the 16th century. The Boulter is an upmarket pub/restaurant next door, with a balcony overlooking the rive...
Cross the bridge at the lock and you’ll be on Ray Mill Island, a charming public park in the middle of the river. “Ray Mill” comes from a flour mill, constructed on the island in 1726 and demolished in the 1920s. Since the 50s the island has been owned by the borough and has plenty of facilities in an idyllic setting. A cafe, Island Piazza, opens d...
Crossing the Thames in the southeast of the town is a structure of vast historical value. Designed in the 1830s by the fabled engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Railway, this was the flattest and widest brick arch bridge in the world at the time. Each arch has a span of 39 metres, but rises only seven metres above the water. As ...
Small but overflowing with interesting things, the Maidenhead Heritage Centre is the town’s museum. The permanent exhibition has a Roman skeleton buried near Bray in the 5th century, details about the Profumo affair and its connection to Cliveden, and a history of the Vanwall Formula One team that was based in Maidenhead in the 1950s. There’s an in...
One of the National Trust’s most prized houses is just a few minutes up the Thames. The mansion rests atop an Italianate terrace, 40 metres over the east bank of the river. It was rebuilt in 1851 by Charles Barry (famous for the Houses of Parliament), and has a mix of Palladian and Cinquecento architecture. Cliveden was home to Nancy Astor, the UK’...
This vibrant live entertainment venue has an unusual location on an old dairy farm. The ensemble has two listed buildings, an 18th-century long barn and a Georgian farmhouse. Maidenhead had been planning an arts venue since the 1970s, and finally settled on this site in the 1990s. Open since 2000, the award-winning Norden Farm Centre for the Arts h...
One stop on the train or ten minutes by road, Cookham is a very affluent and picturesque village on the Thames. For such a small place, Cookham has had some distinguished residents, like Guillermo Marconi, Kenneth Grahame (author of Wind in the Willows) and the 20th-century artist Stanley Spencer. The latter was born in Cookham, was educated in Mai...
This early-Tudor manor is open for tours every afternoon in August, as well as during both May Bank Holidays. The beautiful half-timbered house was built around 1440 and has remained largely the same since 1500. Dorney Court has belonged to the Palmer Family since the 16th century and is still a cheerful family home. You’ll approach the house via a...
Opened to the public in the 1980s, Ockwells Park is on land that used to belong to the Ockwells Manor Estate. The 15th-century half-timbered manor house can be seen to the west of the park, and was built with oak from Winsor Forest, which at that time extended as far as Maidenhead. The park has a conservation area labelled with signs about its wild...
