Marlow Wildlife Centre
Marlow Wildlife Centre is a new concept in Environmental Education. Although primarily a Rescue Centre it places great emphasis on allowing public access to animals
normally viewed from a distance. Through 'kind handling' the animals that cannot be returned to the wild allow close contact with visitors. You can cuddle a fox, play with a
squirrel as well as handling many other animals . A real hands on experience

Car Parking
Car parking in Marlow over the years has never been easy. The Wycombe District Council, however, has made efforts to try to alleviate this problem and currently there
are some 500 parking spaces in car parks in the town.
With the exception of the 30-space free facility in Station Approach, charges are of the Pay and Display type.
The remaining car parks are in Liston Road (167 spaces); Dean Street (73); West Street (64); Institute Road (64); Riley Road, Saturdays and Sundays only (28) and
Pound Lane (210 cars plus three coach or lorry spaces).
Shopmobility, a free manual wheelchair service, is available seven days a week for visitors with limited mobility.
