Maidenhead Commons

The Maidenhead commons are a series of commons, stretching from Maidenhead Thicket and Pinkneys Drive in the south, Pinkneys Green, Winter Hill Road Woods and the Brick and Tile Works to the north, and North Town Moor in the east. The commons offer great walking opportunities and a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of Maidenhead town centre.
