Trains to Maidenhead
Avanti West Coast
London North Eastern Railway
In the 18th century, Maidenhead was considered one of the busiest coaching stops in the UK. On peak days, some ninety coaches passed through the town, halting for a night’s rest before tackling the highwayman hotspot of Maidenhead Thicket by morning. The arrival of rail in 1838 spelt the end of the stagecoaches and heralded the start of a new age, captured beautifully in the two-arch railway bridge designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. On a quick a visit to the structure, yell in the right-hand arch, known as the Sounding Arch, and enjoy its fabulous echo. The bridge is also the subject of Turner's Rain, Steam and Speed painting.
Maidenhead town centre is only a five-minute walk from the train station with Nicholsons shopping centre and Maidenhead Heritage Centre must-see attractions. Maidenhead also offers tremendous walks along the River Thames towards the villages of Cookham, Marlow and Bray, the latter a culinary destination with the Roux Brothers' Waterside Inn and Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck offering world-class menus.
