The Cut connects to the River Thames and retains public navigation rights, though it is impractical for boats to pass through the sections in Miadenhead today as they are silted up and overgrown. The old channel leaves the Thames just above Cliveden and eventually rejoins it just below Bray Lock by the Marina. This part is known as Strand Water and acts as a flood relief channel. It is seen here from Bridge Road and at the time was dry. For more about the Maidenhead Waterways see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_Waterways
