Bourne End is a village mostly in the parish of Wooburn, yet partially in the parish of Little Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, England. It has to do with five miles (8 kilometres) south-east of High Wycombe as well as 3 miles (5 kilometres) east of Marlow, near the boundary with Berkshire as well as near where the River Wye clears right into the Thames. Bourne End lies in between the M4 as well as M40 motorways, and also maintains its train station on the Maidenhead to Marlow branch line. With rail and also roadway ease of access to London, it has actually come to be a prominent area for travelers to live. All of the mills along the Wye Valley have actually now been closed down and also demolished, 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 These have been replaced by homes, workplaces or industrial estates, which has actually resulted in the continuation of the village as an employment centre. Bourne End stays an unique settlement, although the continued house-building over the past century implies it is intimidated by the noticeable bow development, with to High Wycombe. In 1997, when the Regional Plan remained in prep work, the Locals Organizations of Bourne End and Wooburn effectively lobbied to stop Slate Field (the field which divides the two negotiations) being assigned for real estate for the time being. Various other primitive land around the town looks most likely to stay so, as it has been specified as Green Belt, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or a mix of the three. Partly, Bourne End is surrounded by farmland. Somewhat even more away, Cliveden and also Hedsor forget the town from greater ground to the south east. Bourne End sustains several organisations and also solutions whilst still keeping a village-like atmosphere. There is a Community Centre in the centre of the town, with a large hall, feature spaces and a bar, which is open for member's usage. It is, for lots of, considered the focal point of town activity. In the early 2000s, a Twinning Association was developed, and subsequently Octeville-sur-Mer, a community on the north coast of France, was selected to be its twin community. Constant occasions are held by participants of the association to promote as well as boost the connection between the two settlements.
