Explore Waltham St Lawrence, Berkshire with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Waltham St Lawrence map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers OS MAPS — Ordnance Survey Outdoor mapping and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets — plus a labelled National Grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Waltham St Lawrence, Berkshire, England.

OS MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows OS Outdoor mapping — contours, footpaths, bridleways and access land. Explorer 1:25k shows the OS Explorer sheets themselves: the orange-covered 1:25 000 maps walkers, fell runners and mountain rescue teams use, with field boundaries, rights of way and open access land. The search box finds any British town, village or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Waltham St Lawrence.
Reading the map like a paper Explorer sheet. Click Grid to overlay the OS National Grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference such as NY 266 234 by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an OS National Grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what mountain rescue and the coastguard work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your grid reference stays correct even where the map itself cannot load, which in the Lakes, the Dales and the Highlands is often exactly where you need it.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Waltham St Lawrence reveals itself through a landscape of quiet, low-lying fields where the morning mist clings to the hedgerows like a soft, translucent veil. It lies 4.6 miles south-west of Maidenhead (from Maidenhead: bearing 232°T, OS grid SU 830 764), and is situated north-east of West End village. Ancient timber-framed cottages line the lanes, their weathered beams holding the memory of centuries against the relentless turn of the seasons. To the north-west, the gentle rise of Weycock Hill breaks the horizon, offering a vantage point over the patchwork of arable land that defines the local economy. The parish church, with its flint-knapped masonry, serves as a silent anchor for the spirit of Waltham St Lawrence amidst the shifting light of the Berkshire sky. Beyond the domestic gardens, the moated site at Smewin's Farm reminds the observant traveller of medieval foundations hidden beneath the emerald growth of modern pastures. The air here carries a crisp, earthen stillness, undisturbed by the hurried pulse of the wider world. Such serenity remains the true inheritance of those who walk these paths, where the earth feels anchored to a long and steady past.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any British town, village or landmark by name; offers OS Outdoor and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled OS National Grid so the map can be read like a printed Explorer sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an OS National Grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference remains correct even where the map cannot load.
