Maidencombe
 

Four delightful walks - some with a chance to see wild ponies!

Domesday Book records Maidencombe as having 1 villager,2 smallholders & 1 slave (!). Today due to its locality it still consists of only a few houses.

Any walk to or from Maidenhead includes hills, some quite steep almost halving your walking speed.

Point of InterestCoast Line, wild poniesHistoric area, Thatched Inn

Caution: This walk includes some very steep descents and is as much a challenge as an ordeal depending on your knees and stamina - try walk 1b instead.
However, it is most rewarding with magnificent views of the coast and very dramatic countryside grazed by ponies.
