The road will take you through a residential area and then across some fields.
After 2.5 miles measured from the mini-roundabout by the bridge, turn left into the High Street in Cookham village. (If you come to another bridge over the River Thames you will have gone too far.)

Go past some shops and over a level crossing.
After the level crossing, turn immediately left into High Road by the car park and an Indian restaurant.
