Marlow is a scenic small town that is located along the iconic River Thames. It’s in Buckinghamshire and approximately 34 mi (55 km) west of London.

It’s said that River Thames is at its most beautiful at Marlow, although it could be because of the surrounding area. Chiltern Hills, where Marlow is perched, is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). This Georgian market town’s collection of historic buildings adds to the Thames’ charm as well. These include Marlow’s suspension bridge built in 1832 which also happens to be the town’s distinguishing landmark. Additionally, from Marlow, Windsor Castle is only 14.5 mi (23 km) away.
