Explore
Whether you’re day tripping down to visit our Marlow store or staying for the weekend to explore the likes of Cliveden, Odds Farm and the surrounding area with family, Marlow has so many things to see and do:
Higginson Park (A stone’s throw away from our shop)
With 23 acres of lawns that are perfect for picnicking, Higginson Park holds a prestigious Green Flag Award as one of the country’s outstanding parks. Choose between riverside walks, a children’s play area or even a boat trip on the river with The Little Green Boat Company, or stay on land and head to their café in the park, for a bite to eat. There is a Sainsbury’s and a Lidl a short walk away for picnic supplies!
Cliveden (Less than a 15-minute drive from Marlow)
National Trust Member? Head to Cliveden National Trust. Set high above the Thames with far reaching views, you can explore woodlands and its iconic formal gardens, try not to lose yourself in the maze, relax on a skippered boat trip, or let children’s imagination run wild in the Story Book Play Den.
