Maidenhead is a market town in Berkshire, England, on the southwestern bank of the River Thames. It has an estimated population of 80,000. It is part of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and the fourth largest town in Berkshire, forming part of the border with southern Buckinghamshire. Travelling by road, the town is situated 28 miles west of Charing Cross, London, 13 miles east-northeast of the county town of Reading, 31 miles southeast of Oxford, 8 miles east-southeast of Henley-on-Thames, 8 miles south of High Wycombe and 7 miles northwest of Windsor. The town differs from the Parliamentary constituency of Maidenhead, which includes a number of outer suburbs and villages such as Twyford, Charvil, Remenham, Ruscombe and Wargrave.
The antiquary John Leland claimed that the area around Maidenhead's present town centre was a small Roman settlement called Alaunodunum. He stated that it had all but disappeared by the end of the Roman occupation. Although his source is unknown, there is documented and physical evidence of Roman settlement in the town. There are two well known villa sites in the town, one being in the suburb of Cox Green, and the other just west of the town centre on Castle Hill. This villa sat on the route of the Camlet Way which was a Roman road linking Silchester and Colchester via St Albans and passes through the present town centre. Remnants of the road have been unearthed at various locations nearby, but its exact route is unclear.
