Maidenhead

Maidenhead is best known within England for Brunel’s Maidenhead Railway Bridge, whose exceptionally flat brick arches carry the Great Western Main Line over the River Thames. The Berkshire town occupies a Thames crossing west of London, where the river has long shaped commercial and leisure life. Nearby Maidenhead Bridge, a stone road bridge designed by Sir Robert Taylor and opened in 1777, recalls the importance of this route before rail travel transformed it. Riverside paths, boating traffic and Boulter’s Lock give the town a distinctly river-focused character. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Maidenhead and Berkshire.
