Often called Britain's second richest village, Cookham sets the gold standard for English village life. With its origins written in the Domesday Book as Cocheham, it’s well-documented in local and national history. This charming place is cradled between Maidenhead and the High Wycombe urban area and offers tranquil village life without leaving modern conveniences behind.

Cookham and its parish, encompassing Cookham Rise, Cookham Dean, and Furze Platt, are steeped in history. From prehistoric burial mounds to connections with the Roman road, this village wears its rich past like a badge of honour. Wander through the village and you may even stumble upon the noteworthy Grade II* listed parish church, Holy Trinity, or the renowned Stanley Spencer Gallery.

Of course, Cookham isn't just about looking back. It's a vibrant community and a proud part of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. It’s a village that’s made its mark in governance, commerce, and even broadcasting, with its very own radio station, Cookham Summer FM, cranking out tunes in 1997, 1999, and 2006.

When to visit Cookham

Cookham invites visitors all year round but the ideal time to soak up the beauty of the village and enjoy warm-weather activities is from late June to early September. July is the warmest month with a favourable average high of 22°C, making it pefect for gentle strolls along the River Thames or for sipping a cold pint in one of the village's welcoming pubs.

For the best outdoor experience, the last week of July is often the top choice, but any time between April and October guarantees clearer skies. Be it indulging in some al fresco dining, touring the National Trust properties, savouring scenic walks along the Thames Path, or even simply enjoying a pleasant afternoon tea, Cookham is a destination that is guaranteed to create memories at any time of the year.
