The village's neighbours are Maidenhead to the south, Bourne End to the north, Marlow and Bisham to the west and Taplow to the east.

The River Thames flows past Cookham on its way from Marlow to Taplow. Several islands in the Thames belong to Cookham, such as Odney Island, Formosa Island and Sashes Island which separates Cookham Lock from Hedsor Water. The Lulle Brook and the White Brook are tributaries of the River Thames which flow through the parish.

A good amount of common land remains in the parish, such as Widbrook Common, Cookham Dean Common and Cock Marsh. Winter Hill affords excellent views over the Thames Valley and Chiltern Hills.

Cookham is also home to the Chartered Institute of Marketing, based in Moor Hall. The John Lewis Partnership, one of the country's premier retailers, which runs John Lewis department stores and Waitrose supermarkets, has a residential training and holiday centre based at Odney.

Cookham has a site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) just to the north of the village, called Cock Marsh.^[4]

The parish includes three villages:

Cookham Village – the centre of the original village, with a high street that has changed little in appearance over the centuries. Cookham Dean – the most rural village in the parish. Cookham Rise – the area in the middle that grew up around the railway station.

Please ask if you need any other information and I will do the best I can to answer.
