Windsor Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

A Bridge over the Thames between Windsor & Eton links two historic towns. Eton with its famous school and pretty High Street and busy Windsor with the incredible Castle and good shops and restaurants.

Eton College Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

There are so many historic buildings in Eton, all part of the famous Eton College school, dating back many centuries. Probably the grandest is Eton College Chapel, more like a Cathedral than a school chapel! On occasions the public can attend musical events inside. The whole area around the top of the High Street is well worth a stroll on a summer day.

Dorney Common

Highlight • Cycleway

Dorney Common is an ancient area where ‘Commoners’ still have the right to allow their animals (cows & geese) to graze. The rules for this go back centuries. Cows wander freely on the common and across the road. In summer there are lovely meadow flowers and beautiful walks down to the River Thames.

Cookham Bridge and The Ferry Inn

Highlight • Bridge

The Thames at Cookham Bridge is an attractive spot. It is lined with trees, and there are boats dotted about along the riverside. The bridge works on a traffic light system, but there is a pavement area to stop for photos if you feel the urge to do so. There is a good pub at the bridge too called the Ferry Inn.

Windsor Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world - it's home to The King and over 900 years of royal history.
Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 39 monarchs.

The Castle itself is at the top of a steep hill, but it's visible from the road so you can get a sneaky peak as you roll past on the bike!
