The village and civil parish of Marlow Bottom sits in Buckinghamshire on the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills, a short distance south of the riverside town of Marlow. It occupies a pleasant pocket of greenbelt countryside with woods, commons and footpaths, and enjoys easy access to the River Thames, which makes it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Primarily a residential community with many commuters travelling to London and nearby towns, Marlow Bottom also supports a parade of shops, pubs, a village hall, primary school and small local businesses, together with an industrial estate that provides local employment. The settlement expanded in the 20th century but has retained a village feel, with active community groups, sports clubs and seasonal events, and local planning policies that help protect the surrounding countryside.
