Literature and the Media
The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley lived in the town and spent much of his time on the river above the lock in a skiff.
Reach above the lock
Just above the lock is Marlow's famous suspension bridge. Once the river leaves the picturesque town of Marlow, it curls through equally picturesque hills and beechwoods . On the Berkshire side is Bisham Abbey, a fine old mansion that is now one of the National Sports Centres. Temple Regatta takes place in early May between Marlow Bridge and Temple Lock, and Marlow Town Regatta is also held. The Thames Path leaves Marlow and continues on the Bucks side to Temple Lock.
