Description
Avoid the A4! A new route which uses pleasant waterside and green paths out of Maidenhead to Bray, then crosses the river Thames on a wooden footbridge. Thames footpath to Boveney Lock, then through fields to Eton, views of Windsor Castle. No heavy traffic on this route :)
I walked Maieto Two last year and had a few grumbles, especially about the amount of pollution along the A4, so I've done some extensive research and this is the one I'd walk again. To be honest we are spoiled for choice in this area :)
There is a variation on this route via Dorney and Eton Wick for anyone who wants a good refreshment stop mid-way (Dorney has excellent refreshments), I expect that'll turn into Maieto Four! But overall if you can manage this distance without a proper break, other than a picnic, or maybe stopping at one of the Bray places (if you can find one that doesn't have several Michelin stars or a 6 month waiting list), I think this is preferable, because the Thames path is delightful

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
