another favourite spot for
swimmers. This was ‘earthly
paradise’ for artist Stanley
Spencer who painted
numerous river scenes and
wrote in 1917, ‘we all go
down to Odney Weir for a
bathe and a swim . . . I feel
fresh, awake and alive; that is
the time for visitations.’ Ella
Foote, who recently moved to
Cookham from Maidenhead,
says there are lots of beaches
where it’s easy to walk into
