The story starts with the river. Standing on the 19th century suspension bridge, twinned with the only other by its designer in Budapest, you will have a spectacular view of the Thames, the weir, Compleat Angler Hotel and lock. Nearby is the rowing club which has as its most famous member Sir Steve Redgrave winner of a gold medal in five successive Olympic Games. The Regatta is a popular event each year.
If walking is your hobby, some of the most picturesque stretches of the Thames and surrounding countryside can all be reached either on foot or via a short drive from Marlow. In fact one spectacular circular walk begins but yards from Marlow B&B.
Marlow Bed and Breakfast is handily placed for the Harleyford golf club. The town boasts quite good rugby and football clubs. Of course the national teams are frequent visitors to Bisham Abbey for training purposes.
