Marlow is a handsome Thames-side town with a distinctive Victorian suspension bridge, sitting where the river loops through the Chiltern Hills in one of its most scenic stretches. The Thames Path runs through the town, and the Chiltern Way climbs into the beech-clad hills behind.

An exceptionally attractive riverside town with one of the finest stretches of the Thames passing through, Marlow makes a superb walking base combining riverside paths with the wooded Chiltern Hills immediately behind.
