Marlow - Travel

Being relatively secluded, it does take some patience to reach Marlow. However, it does have a train station which can be reached from Maidenhead on a little branch line known locally as "The Marlow Donkey". There are fairly frequent boat services in the summer and buses do happen to pass through it. It is reasonably accessible by car because it is not too far away from the motorway. Parking is available. All in all, it could be worse considering the size of this lovely little town.

Rail
The only station Marlow connects with is Maidenhead. However, trains from Reading, London and occasionally Henley all stop off at Maidenhead so that you can make a direct connection to Marlow. A journey from Maidenhead to Marlow is 23 minutes

And that's it folks!

Boat
There is an impressive range of boat services and cruises to Marlow in the summer. There is a service from Cookham to Windsor, which stops off at Marlow from mid-May to mid-September on Mondays and Fridays (call Salter Bros. Reading on 0118 957 2388). Finally, there is a service from Windsor to Marlow also from mid-May to mid-September on Mondays and Fridays (call Salter Bros. Windsor on 01753 865832).

Road
If you are coming out of London take the M4 all the way to Bray Wick, then get off on the A308, which in turn connects with the A404 at Bisham. From there take some pretty twisting roads into Marlow. If you are taking the M40 you will have a much easier job getting into Marlow - get off on the A404 which passes through the town. It is very simple getting to Marlow from Henley, Reading and Oxford because they all have highly accessible direct links to the A4155 joining them to Marlow.
