First you walk along the Thames Path, downstream from Maidenhead for about a mile and a half. Then you make your way east to the Jubilee River and walk along a cycleway, for half a mile. Next you head towards the Thames via Dorney Court. Crossing the Thames, you then head north via Bray and back to the start. There are a few gates and stiles, but overall the route is very level, with no hills. All the route is along pavements, good footpaths or very minor roads. There is quite a contrast between the two rivers: the Jubilee is very quiet, with nature reserves, the Thames is naturally busier, with boats, a lock and several buildings of interest. There is a short cut, which saves about 1½ miles (if you want to skip my favourite lunch stop!).

It is a companion walk to 'Dorney and the Jubilee River' (7921) which is a little further south, but their routes overlap. A map with both routes on is a 'Related download'.

May 29th. A great walk that can probably be done all year round. We parked at Dorney Garden centre and set off from there. River stretches, property porn, obscene menu costs????, a walk that ticked all the boxes for us. I'll probably take my walking group on it tomorrow stopping for coffee at the hotel as you hit the A4 in Maidenhead and have lunch, like we did today, at the garden centre. Thank you.

M4 smart motorway works means the access over M4 at waynark 4 is closed until March 2021. We doubled back and continued the walk back along the river to waymark 9 where we picked it up again.
