Marlow is a compact riverside parish in Buckinghamshire, England, straddling a picturesque stretch of the River Thames with the wooded slopes of the Chiltern Hills close by. The centre is notable for its mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture and the handsome early suspension crossing of Marlow Bridge, giving the area a distinct historic character and attractive waterside walks.
Locally there’s a strong rowing and river culture, with regattas and community events dotting the calendar, while a lively High Street of independent shops, cafés and pubs supports a prosperous commuter population who travel into London. Good schools, conservation-minded local groups and a steady stream of visitors enjoying the riverside setting all contribute to a socially active, affluent parish with deep historic roots.
