Bisham is a small riverside parish in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, England, sitting on the north bank of the River Thames opposite Marlow. It feels distinctly villagey despite being within easy reach of larger towns such as Maidenhead and Windsor, and it attracts commuters to London as well as people looking for riverside walks, boating and quiet country living.
The place is best known for Bisham Abbey, a centuries‑old moated manor that now combines historic interest with sports facilities and events, and the surrounding area keeps a mix of historic buildings, a parish church and local pubs. The local economy is modest and largely service- and leisure-oriented, with a community shaped by rowing, walking and tourism alongside a stable residential population who enjoy its scenic Thames-side setting.
