Marlow
Marlow, (traditionally 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 km) south-southwest of High Wycombe, 5 miles (8 km) west-northwest of Maidenhead and 33 miles (53 kilometres) west of central London. Marlow is noted in the Domesday Book as Merlaue. There has actually been a bridge above the Thames at Marlow ever since the reign of King Edward III. The existing bridge is a suspension bridge, developed by William Tierney Clark in 1832, and was a prototype for the much longer 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 nickname given to the steam engines that formerly worked on the line. There is also a club with the very same name, found alongside the railway station. Marlow Rowing Club, founded in 1871, is one of Britain's premier rowing clubs and has produced a number of Olympic oarsmen featuring 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 related to Marlow; the Marlow Town Regatta and Marlow International Regatta. Earliest records indicate a regatta happened every year 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 takes place yearly in June.
