A picturesque Georgian market town nestled in between lush meadows and the forests of the Chilterns, Marlow is regarded as one of the loveliest settlements on the banks of the River Thames. Wander along its historic streets and explore the town’s selection of boutique shops, restaurants, bistros and cafes, Marlow is well known for its culinary delights even boasting a two Michelin Starred restaurant, The Hand & Flowers. A key attraction in the town would be its nineteenth-century suspension bridge, designed by William Tierney Clark and credited with being the prototype for his renowned bridge linking Buda and Pest in Hungary. Another claim to fame would be Marlow’s famous past residents. Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley lived in Shelley Lodge on West Street for a number of years, most notably it was where the celebrated author finished her masterpiece, Frankenstein.
