Beginner-friendly: Cross the river, make sure it’s on your left, and keep walking all the way to Marlow! You can't go wrong.
Very popular and busy. Be warned that the river bank is prone to flooding, making sections of the route impassible — if that happens there will be many other ramblers who you can follow for the alternative route.
Lunch: There’s nowhere to eat en route so either pack a lunch or eat in Marlow at the end — there are many cafés, pubs and restaurants there.
End-of-walk rewards: the Bull Inn, the Old Brewery, the Prince of Wales, or the Marlow Donkey.
Buying train tickets: Henley and Marlow are on different train lines, so unfortunately you can't buy a return ticket. Instead buy an Anytime Day Single to get to Henley-on-Thames and another Anytime Day Single to depart from Marlow.
