Marlow
Marlow, (historically called 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 kilometres) 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 over the Thames at Marlow since the reign of King Edward III. The current bridge is a suspension bridge, designed by William Tierney Clark in 1832, and was a mock-up for the much longer Széchenyi Chain Bridge across the River Danube in Budapest. Marlow is served by a railway station which is the terminus of a single-track branch line from Maidenhead. The train service is known as the Marlow Donkey, which was the moniker given to the steam engines that previously operated on the line. There is also a club with the very same name, situated near the railway station. Marlow Rowing Club, started in 1871, is among Britain's premier rowing clubs and has produced several 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 2 regattas associated with Marlow; the Marlow Town Regatta and Marlow International Regatta. Earliest records tell us a regatta happened yearly on the River Thames in Marlow from 1855. The latter transferred to the purpose-built Dorney Lake, owned by Eton College, in 2003. Marlow still hosts its Original River Regatta which occurs yearly in June.
