Visit Maidenhead and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:
Maidenhead, Berkshire, has a population of around 60,000. It is in the 'Silicon Valley'. Many residents commute to work, by rail or by road on the M4, in London, or the towns of Reading and Slough. Maidenhead's industries include: pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, computer software, plastics and printing. The town is also a boating centre.
The town's name comes from the riverside area where the 'new wharf' or 'Maiden Hythe' was built, perhaps as early as Saxon times. It has been suggested that the nearby Great Hill of Taplow was called the 'Mai Dun' by the Iron Age Britons.
In 1280, a bridge was erected across the river to replace the ferry and the Great Western Road was diverted in order to make use of it. This led to the growth of Maidenhead: a stopping point for coaches on the journeys between London and Bath and the High Street became populated with inns. The current Maidenhead Bridge, a local landmark, was built in 1777.
King Charles I met his children for the last time before his execution in 1649 at the Greyhound Inn, which is now a branch of the NatWest Bank. A plaque commemorates their meeting.
Trains on the Great Western Railway built by Brunel stop at Maidenhead from and to Bristol and London. Maidenhead Station is the beginning of the branch line to Marlow, Buckinghamshire.
The River Thames flows through Maidenhead, and the Jubilee River flood defence scheme begins there. York Stream flows through the town centre.
Schools: Cox Green Secondary, Altwood C of E Secondary, Desborough, St Piran's, Claires Court, St Edmund Campion, The College, Ridgeway, Furze Platt, Courthouse Newlands Girls' and Highfield.
