Waltham St. Lawrence sits in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, a scattering of hamlets, green lanes, small farms and ancient woodland set in the Thames Valley countryside a few miles south‑east of Maidenhead. The medieval parish church and a number of listed houses and manor sites hint at a long agricultural history; the landscape is low‑lying and quietly rural, with hedgerows, paddocks and woods that make it popular with walkers and riders.
Today the area is largely residential and agricultural, prized by commuters for good road and rail links to Reading and London while retaining a strong village community with a village hall, local clubs and annual events. Conservation policies and local feeling keep development limited, so the parish still feels like a peaceful, historic pocket of the Thames Valley close to bigger towns.
