***** COOKHAM in Berkshire
Cookham is a village and civil parish of Berkshire in England, on the River Thames. It lies 2 miles north of Maidenhead.
The area is made up of three villages:
Cookham Village - the centre of the original village, with an attractive High Street which has changed little in appearance over the centuries. It is very beautiful villiage and well worth visiting.
Cookham Dean - the desirable and expensive area in which to live.
Cookham Rise - the bit in the middle that has grown up around the village's railway station.
The River Thames flows past Cookham on its way from Marlow to Taplow, and forms the boundary with Buckinghamshire. Several islands in the Thames belong to Cookham, such as Odney Island. The Lulle Brook and the White Brook are tributaries which flow through the parish.
Cookham is also home to (CIMA) Chartered Institute of Marketing, based in Moor Hall. The John Lewis
