[edit][add listing] Do
Marlow has a busy and active atmosphere and is packed full of coffee shops and restaurants. These features make it an excellent place for socialising or simply relaxing with a coffee and watching the wealthy (and others) go about their lives. Marlow has a park which borders the river where one can hire a rowing boat, or enjoy the views and wildlife (predominately swans, geese and ducks)from the safety of the benches under the trees! It is also about an hour's leisurely walk from Bourne End if one follows the river Thames through the adjacent fields.. If you are too worn out to want to walk both ways, then the train (Marlow Donkey) is fun for all ages between Marlow and Bourne End. Once in Bourne End train station, there is a connection to Maidenhead via Furze Platt.
