Marlow in Buckinghamshire, England is a picturesque riverside town on the River Thames, tucked beneath the Chiltern Hills. It has medieval market‑town origins and a compact historic centre with landmarks such as the elegant suspension Marlow Bridge and the parish church; a notable grammar school was founded there in the 17th century.
Today Marlow is an affluent commuter town with regular rail links into central London, a busy high street of independent shops and riverside pubs, and a strong rowing and festival culture - most famously the local regattas and an annual arts programme. The result is a lively yet relaxed community valued for its scenery, history and local amenities.
