Bourne End is a village mostly in the parish of Wooburn, but partially in the parish of Little Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, England. It has to do with five miles (8 kilometres) south-east of High Wycombe and also three miles (5 km) eastern of Marlow, near the border with Berkshire as well as near where the River Wye empties right into the Thames. Bourne End exists between the M4 as well as M40 motorways, and also preserves its train station on the Maidenhead to Marlow branch line. With rail and roadway accessibility to London, it has actually ended up being a prominent location for travelers to live. Every one of the mills along the Wye Valley have actually now been closed down as well as destroyed, Jacksons Mill in Furlong Road being the last (in Bourne End) in the late 1980s. These have been changed by houses, workplaces or industrial estates, which has caused the extension of the village as a work centre. Bourne End stays an unique settlement, although the proceeded house-building over the past century implies it is intimidated by the evident ribbon development, via to High Wycombe. In 1997, when the Regional Plan was in preparation, the Citizens Organizations of Bourne End and also Wooburn successfully lobbied to stop Slate Meadow (the area which separates the two negotiations) being marked for real estate for the time being. Various other untaught land around the village looks likely to remain 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 three. In parts, Bourne End is bordered by farmland. Somewhat better away, Cliveden and Hedsor overlook the town from higher ground to the south eastern. Bourne End maintains numerous businesses and solutions whilst still retaining a village-like environment. There is a Community Centre in the centre of the village, with a big hall, feature spaces as well as a bar, which is open for member's usage. It is, for many, thought about the focal point of village task. In the very early 2000s, a Twinning Association was established, and also subsequently Octeville-sur-Mer, a town on the north coast of France, was selected to be its twin town. Regular events are held by participants of the association to foster as well as improve the partnership in between the two negotiations.
