Touchen-end is a small hamlet in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in England, situated on the rural fringe of Maidenhead. It feels typically Berkshire - scattered cottages and farmsteads, quiet country lanes and easy access to nearby green spaces and the River corridor that feeds into the Thames, with Windsor and Windsor Great Park not far away.
The settlement is largely residential with an agricultural heritage rather than any big commercial centre, and its unusual name is one of the things that marks it out locally. Many residents commute via Maidenhead to jobs further afield, so social life tends to link into neighbouring villages and parish activities rather than in-village services, while older cottages and farm buildings hint at the area’s historic rural character.
