Marlow is adjoined by Marlow Bottom, a mile to the north. Little Marlow is nearby to the east along the A4155 Little Marlow Road and Bourne End is further along the same road. To the south across the Thames are Bisham (home of Bisham Abbey) and Cookham Dean, both in Berkshire.
Marlow is without a doubt one of the loveliest locations on the River Thames, set amongst the rich meadows of the river valley and alongside the woodlands of the Chiltern Hills. Marlow has been named as the county's 'coolest' place to live in the UK by Naturecan - earning a place in the UK's top three in the process.
About. The Thames is at its loveliest as it flows through this pleasant Georgian market town, spanned by an elegant suspension bridge built in 1832. Visitors enjoy the view from the green spaces of waterside Higginson Park, or the historic Compleat Angler Hotel.
- Marlow Bridge. Marlow has been a crossing point on the Thames since at least 1227. As traffic increased in the 19th century the town needed a new bridge to replace the old wooden one, and the civil engineer William Tierney Clark was hired to build it.
- Thames Path. The 184-mile trail next to the Thames passes through the riverside graveyard of All Saints’ Church in Marlow. You’re promised delightful scenery whether you head upriver towards Henley or down to Maidenhead.
- Chiltern Hills. Immediately north of Marlow the countryside becomes hilly as you enter the Chilterns, a 46-mile escarpment running diagonally from Oxfordshire to Bedfordshire.
- Higginson Park. Marlow’s main outdoor space is a spread of lawn beside the river, clustered with mature trees. Higginson Park is awarded a Green Flag every year, and even though you’ll enter from Marlow’s High Street the park is bordered to the west by nothing but open countryside.
Located in south Buckinghamshire, approximately four miles from High Wycombe, Marlow is surrounded by the lovely countryside of the Chiltern Hills and thus has plenty to offer for staying in the Thames Valley, or for a day out.
