    Though there was a church in Marlow as early as 1070, the present Church of All Saints is a Victorian creation, built after the spire of the old church collapsed in 1831. The old building was demolished, and a new church constructed of Bath stone, topped by a graceful spire soaring 170 above the town. The combination of spire and bridge form one of the most unforgettable Thames sights.

    Embark on the Marlow & Thames Path loop, an easy 3.7-mile (6.0 km) hike that takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete, with a gentle elevation gain of just 37 feet (11 metres). This picturesque route winds through varied terrain, from solid asphalt near town to looser ground in fields and deer pastures, all while offering continuous views of the River Thames. You will pass by ancient woodlands and chalk hills, experiencing the tranquil atmosphere of the Buckinghamshire countryside.

    This accessible trail is a popular choice for families and those seeking a less strenuous walk, often starting conveniently from Marlow Station. While generally level, be prepared for potentially muddy sections, especially after rain, so appropriate footwear is advisable. After your hike, you can easily access Marlow's restaurants, cafes, pubs, and shops for refreshments.

    The trail's constant riverside presence provides a scenic backdrop, where you might spot swans and wild geese. Marlow itself is a vibrant Georgian market town, home to the iconic 19th-century suspension bridge designed by William Tierney Clark. The town also has historical ties to Mary Shelley, who completed *Frankenstein* here, and boasts a prestigious rowing club that has produced Olympic athletes.
