Overview

Starting at 9:00am from the National Trust Cookham Moor car park, this walk is very varied and has a bit of everything. We walk through Cookham, past Holy Trinity Church, taking a path that leads to a wonderful stretch of the Thames, past Cookham Reach. A gentle climb then rewards us with great views over the river from Winter Hill, followed by a lovely woodland path through Quarry Wood. The final section of the route crosses Cookham Dean Common before walking through Cookham Rise. At the end of the walk, there will be the opportunity to visit The Crown pub for refreshments. The total ascent for the walk is 560 ft (170 m).
