Dist:0.5km<br/>The café is close to the main car parking area by an open green within Burnham Beeches. This and the information and toilet block are designed to reduce visual and environmental impact, for example having a turf roof. They replace the café shown in [[18932]]. More of the tarmac roads within Burnham Beeches have been closed to motor traffic, so there is now just one road into the centre, from Farnham Common.

Dist:0.5km<br/>We felt smug, having parked elsewhere and walked here, that we did not have to try and find a space and pay for the privilege.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Burnham Beeches is a popular place to visit, as you can walk in the country but in a controlled environment. There is an outdoor cafe, which was well used today as people took advantage of the unseasonably warm November sunshine.

Dist:0.5km<br/>McAuliffe Drive is one of several asphalted drives in Burnham Beeches, although not open for the public to use their vehicles on. A search on the internet failed to reveal why it is named after someone called McAuliffe, although Henry Thomas McAuliffe (1867-1951) was the Chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee of the Corporation of London in the 1920s, and knighted for his services in 1928, and the Corporation own and manage the woods, so perhaps it is named after him. Perhaps someone could confirm this?

Dist:0.5km<br/>The signpost is at a crossroads at the eastern edge of East Burnham Common; the main road is Burnham Drive, which separates Burnham Beeches from the built-up area of Farnham Common.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A traditional garage on Beeches Road. The building looks as though it was constructed in the 1930s. The shelter almost certainly contained fuel pumps at one time.
