Marlow Tourist Information
Marlow, next to the River Thames, with its Regency, 1829, suspension bridge over the river.
Now a modern town, very popular for commuters into London, but it still has Georgian buildings in the High Street and West Street. Older buildings in Marlow include The Old Parsonage and Deanery, 14th century, and Marlow Place, 1721.
Marlow has connections with writers, the Compleat Angler Hotel is named after Izzak Walton's book, and poets, Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife lived here from March 1817 to February 1818, during which time Shelley wrote; Revolt to Islam, while Mary Shelley finished Frankenstein.
With its shopping area, walks along the towpath, and small streets, it is a good place to wander around when you are visiting, and there is a Tourist Information Centre in the town.
Take a boat trip on the Thames - always worthwhile.
