Download map and notes for Lifeline Walk

At the beginning of December last year the Civic Society put up a Christmas tree on the Green Way, as part of the St Luke’s Christmas Tree Trail (CTT) as, because of the pandemic, the popular festival could not be held in the church as usual.

Our tree was listed as Celebrating the Green Way a lifeline in lockdown and a banner to that effect accompanied the tree.

The Green Way, a path network that links Cookham through Maidenhead to Bray, was initiated by the Civic Society and East Berks Ramblers (EBRA) in the mid-1980s, and is being well used during the pandemic.

It was decided to put the tree plus banner where Green Way West meets Green Way East, north of North Town Moor.

The Society is very grateful to Peter Prior of Summerleaze Gravel for allowing us to use this location.

The CTT has now finished and the tree has been removed but we will leave the banner, The Green Way – a lifeline in lockdown, until the pandemic is over.

In the centre of the banner is a poster that gives details of what we have called The Lifeline Walk.

This walk devised, with the help of Steve Gillions of EBRA, will take walkers around both branches of the Green Way.

The guide notes and Steve’s map is available via a QR code on the poster.

Some sections of the Green Way are very muddy so do wear appropriate footgear.

The current Green Way leaflet, published by the Royal Borough with the support of the amenity societies, can be downloaded from the Society’s website
