Bourne End is a town mainly in the parish of Wooburn, but partially in the parish of Little Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, England. It has to do with 5 miles (8 km) south-east of High Wycombe and also three miles (5 kilometres) eastern of Marlow, near the boundary with Berkshire as well as near to where the River Wye empties into the Thames. Bourne End exists between the M4 as well as M40 motorways, and keeps its train station on the Maidenhead to Marlow branch line. With rail and roadway availability to London, it has become a popular area for travelers to live. Every one of the mills along the Wye Valley have actually now been closed down and knocked down, Jacksons Mill in Furlong Road being the last (in Bourne End) in the late 1980s. These have been replaced by homes, workplaces or industrial estates, which has led to the extension of the village as a work centre. Bourne End continues to be a distinctive negotiation, although the continued house-building over the past century suggests it is endangered by the apparent ribbon growth, through to High Wycombe. In 1997, when the Local Plan remained in prep work, the Locals Associations of Bourne End and Wooburn successfully lobbied to quit Slate Meadow (the area which divides the two settlements) being marked for housing for the time being. Other primitive land around the village looks likely to remain so, as it has been defined as Green Belt, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or a combination of the 3. In parts, Bourne End is bordered by farmland. Somewhat even more away, Cliveden and Hedsor neglect the village from greater ground to the south eastern. Bourne End sustains numerous organisations as well as services whilst still preserving a village-like atmosphere. There is a Community Centre in the centre of the town, with a big hall, function areas and also a bar, which is open for member's usage. It is, for several, thought about the focal point of town activity. In the early 2000s, a Twinning Association was developed, and also ultimately Octeville-sur-Mer, a community on the north shore of France, was picked to be its twin community. Frequent occasions are held by members of the association to promote and also boost the relationship between both negotiations.
