Martins Heron is the station I'd aim for in order to cycle at Swinley - there are cycle paths that take you (pretty much) from the station to the trails without having to use the roads.
Problem is that the trains go from Waterloo, could you connect to any of these from where you are?
Clapham, Richmond, Twickenham.

Anything from an hour to a day I guess. It's more that I want some dirt but don't want to spend hours getting to it and I'd prefer not to drive. I'll star those places you mention and see if I can get out there for a look.
Do you have any routes/gpx of what you're talking about or is it just a case of going exploring?

Unfashionable opinion, but I like Swinley, you can do a circuit in around an hour which has a nice mix of stuff, then have a coffee and a luxury piss. It's not hard, but that's the point - it's a nice place to have a pedal in the trees.
You can make some of the trails quite challenging - just go in fast and keep off the brakes.
But a total beginner can roll through the same section.

What kind of lunatic would deprive themselves the simple pleasure of an outdoor wee

A real luxury wee is a sit down one, get twigs up your jacksie doing that outside.

How long do you want to ride for?
There is some good singletrack in Bowsey Hill and Ashley Hill, but it does take a while to learn the best trails. There is also some really good stuff in Quarry Wood which is the other side of the A404 from Bisham. You can link the two up via Littlewick Green, Maidenhead Thicket and Pinkneys Green.
