Marlow Town Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Marlow is a vibrant Georgian market town situated within pretty scenery besides the River Thames. Its historic streets have many restaurants, cafes, pubs, shops, and places to stay. Famous residents have included T.S. Eliot, and Mary Shelley, who finished her Gothic masterpiece Frankenstein while living in the town. Marlow is also home to one of Britain’s most prestigious rowing clubs and has produced many Olympic rowers, including Sir Steve Redgrave, whose statue stands in Higginson Park.

Highlight • Climb

A quiet little road that packs a punch with gradients exceeding 20% punch at the end. It's through an area called Danger Grove – well worth testing yourself on it.

Higginson Park

Highlight • Rest Area

The park is the principal open space in Marlow, a classic example of a traditional urban park.
It is located on the High Street and yet it also benefits from access to open countryside and a superb location on the River Thames.

The park offers refreshments to cyclists in the form of a café, public toilets and a fountain to refill your bottles.

All Saints' Church, Marlow

Highlight • Religious Site

Though there was a church in Marlow as early as 1070, the present Church of All Saints is a Victorian creation, built after the spire of the old church collapsed in 1831. The old building was demolished, and a new church constructed of Bath stone, topped by a graceful spire soaring 170 above the town. The combination of spire and bridge form one of the most unforgettable Thames sights.
