The Town

Around the 11th century, Marlow was the centre of a ring of monastic foundations. The Knights Templar helped to build the 1st bridge across the river.
The original parish church, next to the current bridge, dates from the 11th century.
In the High Street, the ‘Marlow Flier’ used to leave twice weekly from the Crown coaching inn, for London, taking approx 3 hours.
Marlow rowing club was founded in 1871 and has produced many Olympic oarsmen, including Sir Steve Redgrave.

The Town
Whilst the River Thames is undoubtedly a principal feature of Marlow, it is also true to say that the Thames has lured many famous
people to live there, many famous organisations to set up home there, and many architects to work there.
Walking through the town itself, and ending at a pleasant park by the river, provides an insight into years gone by, when life was gentler, quieter and more measured
(1.25 miles).
Walk Extension
Wheelchair friendly
Town to Marlow Lock
Marlow is a pleasant Georgian town,
situated on a beautiful stretch of the
River Thames. Sir Steve Redgrave, in
particular, is associated with Marlow.
No book of walks in Marlow could
therefore be considered without
exploring the many stunning and
intriguing views afforded by walking
along some of the paths bordering the river (0.75 miles).
