Bourne End is a village mainly in the parish of Wooburn, but partially in the parish of Little Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is about 5 miles (8 kilometres) south-east of High Wycombe as well as three miles (5 km) east of Marlow, near the border with Berkshire and also near to where the River Wye empties into the Thames. Bourne End lies between the M4 as well as M40 motorways, and preserves its train station on the Maidenhead to Marlow branch line. With rail and roadway availability to London, it has actually ended up being a popular area for travelers to live. All of the mills along the Wye Valley have currently been shut down and also destroyed, Jacksons Mill in Furlong Road being the last (in Bourne End) in the late 1980s. These have actually been replaced by houses, offices or industrial estates, which has actually brought about the continuation of the town as an employment centre. Bourne End continues to be a distinct settlement, although the continued house-building over the past century indicates it is threatened by the obvious bow advancement, with to High Wycombe. In 1997, when the Regional Plan was in prep work, the Locals Organizations of Bourne End and also Wooburn efficiently lobbied to quit Slate Meadow (the area which separates both negotiations) being designated for real estate for the time being. Various other undeveloped land around the town looks most likely to stay so, as it has actually been specified as Green Belt, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or a mix of the 3. Partially, Bourne End is surrounded by farmland. Somewhat even more away, Cliveden and Hedsor ignore the village from greater ground to the south east. Bourne End maintains several organisations and solutions whilst still preserving a village-like ambience. There is a Community Centre in the centre of the village, with a huge hall, feature areas as well as a bar, which is open for participant's usage. It is, for lots of, thought about the prime focus of town task. In the very early 2000s, a Twinning Association was established, and also consequently Octeville-sur-Mer, a town on the north shore of France, was selected to be its twin town. Constant events are held by participants of the association to promote as well as improve the connection in between the two negotiations.
