Cookham Dean is one of the area’s most coveted locations with countless public footpaths and bridleways dissecting the area through National Trust and Woodland Trust. The wider area opens out to yet more glorious rolling countryside and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Cookham Rise, about 1.5 miles away, also provides a good range of local shops and facilities.

The nearby town of Marlow offers an eclectic mix of local independent and national retailers with numerous bars, cafes and restaurants around the town suited for any occasion.

The wider area opens out to yet more glorious rolling countryside and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is excellent walking within the Thames Valley and Chiltern countryside, boating and sailing on the River Thames and golf at various local courses, including Winter Hill and Temple.

The region is well served for sporting facilities including golf at Maidenhead, Marlow, Temple, Harleyford and Henley golf clubs; horse racing at Windsor, Ascot and Newbury; polo at Smith’s Lawn and The Royal Berkshire Polo Club at Winkfield; boating and sailing on the River Thames and at nearby Henley, home to the renowned Henley Regatta.

Directions

From Marlow town, head away from the High Street over the river and turn left into Quarry Wood Road, continuing along this road up the steep hill to the top of Winter Hill. As the road levels off, follow it keeping to the left at the triangular green and follow Winter Hill for about half a mile, past the impressive viewpoint overlooking the river. Shortly after, take a sharp left into Stonehouse Lane. Mendota can be found about 100m on the left hand side of the road.

Cookham Rise has a train station with a service to Paddington (via Maidenhead), with an Elizabeth Line connection at Maidenhead. The M40 and M4 motorways are easily accessed from the A404(M), both connecting to the M25 to the east.

Heathrow, via the M4, is about 20 miles away.
