The B3026 is a short B-road to the south of Slough.
It starts at a mini roundabout on the B376 in Datchet and heads west, soon crossing the Jubilee River, a flood channel of the River Thames. It reaches the B3022 (former A332) to the north of Eton and multiplexes south along that road into the town centre. This section of the B3026 was originally unclassified and dates from 1935.
The B3026 regains its number in Eton at the original eastern end of the road. From here it continues west to go under the Windsor to Slough railway line and the A332 bypass. It goes through Eton Wick and Dorney and again crosses the Jubilee River.
After crossing the M4 via a bridge, the B3206 terminates at a roundabout on the A4 to the south of Burnham. In the 1930s the road extended to Taplow to meet the B476 but it was cut back to its original end-point when that road was declassified.
