Great Marlow is a civil parish in Buckinghamshire centred on the riverside town of Marlow, sitting on the north bank of the River Thames between Maidenhead and High Wycombe. The parish combines a compact historic centre of Georgian and Victorian buildings with an elegant 19th‑century suspension crossing, Marlow Bridge, and countryside that rises towards the Chiltern Hills, giving a pleasant mix of river, town and rolling landscape.
Locally the area has a strong boating and rowing tradition - local clubs and regattas are a regular feature - and an economy shaped by affluent commuters, independent shops, cafés and good schools. Historic milling and market roots give way now to a largely residential, well‑connected community valued for its riverside character, quality of life and easy links into London.
