Marlow
Marlow, (traditionally known as Great Marlow or Chipping Marlow) is a town and civil parish within the Wycombe district in south Buckinghamshire, England. It lies on the River Thames, 4 miles (6.5 kilometres) south-southwest of High Wycombe, 5 miles (8 km) west-northwest of Maidenhead and 33 miles (53 km) west of central London. Marlow is noted in the Domesday Book as Merlaue. There has been a bridge above the Thames at Marlow since the reign of King Edward III. The existing bridge is a suspension bridge, developed by William Tierney Clark in 1832, and was a mock-up for the much larger Széchenyi Chain Bridge spanning the River Danube in Budapest. Marlow is served by a train station which is the terminus of a single-track branch line from Maidenhead. The train service is called the Marlow Donkey, which was the label given to the steam engines that formerly worked on the line. There is also a pub with the exact same name, located near to the railway station. Marlow Rowing Club, founded in 1871, is one of Britain's premier rowing clubs and has actually produced a number of Olympic oarsmen such as Sir Steve Redgrave. The club is based by Marlow Bridge and exercises above and below the lock. The town has a football club called Marlow F.C. There are two regattas associated with Marlow; the Marlow Town Regatta and Marlow International Regatta. Earliest records attest a regatta happened annually on the River Thames in Marlow from 1855. The latter moved to the purpose-built Dorney Lake, owned by Eton College, in 2003. Marlow still hosts its Original River Regatta which happens every year in June.
