Nice view from the bridge

This is must go over bridge

The Thames at Cookham Bridge is an attractive spot. It is lined with trees, and there are boats dotted about along the riverside. The bridge works on a traffic light system, but there is a pavement area to stop for photos if you feel the urge to do so. There is a good pub at the bridge too called the Ferry Inn.

It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

Marlow is a picturesque town on the edge of the Chiltern Hills AONB, and the bridge is one of the highlights. Connecting Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, there has been a bridge on this site since at least 1530, with an original crossing dated at around 1309.

Boulter's Lock is a lock and weir situated on the River Thames near Maidenhead. The lock was built in 1912 and features some very picturesque surroundings of canalboats, an old bridge, and some lush greenery.

Winter Hill is a steep chalk escarpment offering amazing views over the Thames Valley. It's believed that historically the hill and high land here were used for winter pasture for animals during times of flooding. The evidence of human inhabitation, farming and land use dates back 350,000 years to the old stone age. There are also Bronze Age burial mounds and Roman pottery discovered in the area. Bourne End station isn't far away, and you can run an enjoyable loop across Cookham Common, Winter Hill and along the Thames Path.

Bourne End Railway Bridge was originally a wooden bridge designed by Brunel in the 1850's. The narrow spans used were unpopular with the river traffic, so it was re-designed and made in steel in 1895. A footbridge was added in 1992 replacing a ferry that crossed a little further upstream. It's a useful crossing point allowing access for runners to the National Trust managed Cookham Common on the west bank. The Thames Path long distance trail also crosses the bridge on its journey from Wiltshire to London.
