it's busy, lots of traffic
In a nutshell
Lovely town by the river
Walk by the river Thames through Higginson Park
Elodie_Caroline Says: The river Thames runs through Marlow, you can see all of the big and pretty expensive houses along the riverside, especially if you go walking through Higginson Park, and also there are a whole load of yachts along the riverside. The Marlow Regatta (boat race) always used to...
Elodie_Caroline Says: Believe it or not? This little suspension bridge over the Thames at Marlow is quite pretty. It is only a one way at a time traffic system on there, and has been like that for the last few years, not that the ignorant people on the opposite end ever take any notice of it...
sue_stone Says: I really love suspension bridges, so when I read that there was a nice little on in Marlow of course I was keen to check it out. The Marlow suspension bridge was built between 1829 and 1832. It replaced a wooden bridge that was situated a bit downstream, and had become too...
SallyM Says: You have to...they expect it. Stand by the river bank and an expectant horde of water fowl will swiftly arrive.But all things in moderation. It's not all that good for them, and left overs can encourage vermin.
JayGatsby951 Says: A walk along the Thames River (across from the church after you head down the High Street toward the bridge), can be mildly pleasant if the weather is good and the footpaths haven't turned into mud. But wouldn't you rather be in Germany or Denmark?
Burgers: Swiss chocolate heaven
SallyM Says: Burgers is a bakery, chocolatier and cafe, now run by the second generation of the family. They do light meals, but it is a great place to stop for afternoon tea. It is located on The Causeway, next to the famous Marlow bridge and by the entrance to Higginson Park.Tea is...
JayGatsby951 Says: The Marlow Bar & Grill features rather elegant, good quality food, with quite an eclectic menu. The downside: The prices are a bit too high (No surprise in the UK) and you have to be careful where you sit, as some areas of this packed place become deafening in the evening...
In general...: Bars near the High Street
JayGatsby951 Says: Warning: Unfortunately, these bars are generally packed with English women, so it's best to save up a few more quid and simply fly out to a nicer place via Ryan Air. If you get trapped in Marlow, and want to fit in with the local scene, wear dirty-looking (but inconceivably...
Elodie_Caroline Says: This isn't called The Crown anymore, it is always changing hands and names these days, but in the late 1970's and 1980's, we would often be in here, but to be honest, I never like the pub very much, and we didn't like the fat landlord either.But one day, in the very early...
Elodie_Caroline Says: In the High Street you have things like Superdrug, Sainsburys, estate agents and the normal old stuff you get in every High Street. You also have a little courtyard, which is quite pretty, off of the High Street, this is called Listons Court: You've got Noa Noa in there, a...
easyoar Says: The guy in the visiting French market had some of the most unusual sausages I have ever seen.If you enlarge the photo, you can see there are: Mushroom, Blueberry, Olive, Herb, Smoked, Calvados, Hazlenut, Wine, Natural, and several other sausage types. They don't com in cheap...
If you win a pot, go and see Sir Steve
easyoar Says: To be quite honest, I'm not sure how common this actually is.These guys had just won a pot. In rowing parlance, this means they had won a race. You can see them proudly holding their pots out (they are basically beer tankards, and come in a range of sizes - typically the...
easyoar Says: Rowing blazers are a curious thing. They tend to be so bright and loud, that the only time you could possibly want to wear one is when you go and watch rowing. If it is a bright sunny day, then they tend to be rather too hot for comfort!They tend to be the preserve of the...
Health warning: Bring sunglasses
JayGatsby951 Says: In Marlow, as in London, for some reason English men consider it the height of fashion to wear bright pink shirts...every day. Please bring a good pair of sunglasses if walking along the High Street; it's not worth risking damage to your precious eyesight if you're not used...
JayGatsby951 Says: If you drive a sports car and value your car's suspension (and your spine), try to steer clear of Marlow- The roads are terribly rough- amazing for a town with so many wealthy residents etc.Marlow is full of surprises- as is England in general.
nebulaflash Says: between All Saints Church, which is next to the bridge, and The George and Dragon pub is an alley. If you walk down in it you will find it comes out to a road. Across the road is another alley which has seven corners before you reach the other side. My advice is to take...
easyoar Says: To anyone in the UK, Broadmoor is infamous. Apparently, it is (was) the first custom-built criminal lunatic asylum in the world and received its first patients in 1863. Broadmoor is Crowthorne's major claim to fame (not that it necessarily wants it!)The building itself is...
easyoar Says: To most people that don't know rowing, they tend to think anyone who is sitting in a boat and has an oar or two in their hands is rowing.This is NOT correct!Rowers have only one oar in their hands. They hold onto it with both hands. They have to have an even number of people...
Cricket - a mystery to a large part of the world
easyoar Says: This is a very traditional British Sport, that has become popular in several parts of the world and remains highly obscure in many other parts.In the U.S.A. for example, they tend to think that it is some bizarre baseball with rules that are completely unfathomable.However...
Elodie_Caroline Says: The writer, Mary Shelley, her famed for writing 'Frankenstein' actually lived in the town of Marlow for a little while, this is the only bit here that really interests me to tell the truth. The cottage where she lived in West Street was originally called 'Albion House' but...
