12 of us left Marlow Bottom playing fields car park and headed towards Marlow, through woods, fields then across the park. Crossing the Marlow/Lane End road we went along Mundaydean Lane, past some interesting topiary! Then we traversed up to the Royal Oak pub and Bovingdon Green. We followed the Chiltern Way through the woods, stopping to view Monks Corner and Jerome Cottage (lived in by Jerome K Jerome, author of "3 men in a boat"). Monks Corner was built for Conrad Dressler, sculptor and producer of Medmenham Ware. The buildings have frieze panels and roundels of painted terracotta. Onto Marlow Common North nature reserve for our banana break, through the reserve, then back along the Frieth road and down into Mondaydean Lane again. A long walk up a field to Copy Farm, with great views, then down and up again. Now on the flat, we walked past High Rews Farm to Seymour Court, across the road and down into the woods behind the school back to our cars. A varied walk in good weather, enjoyed by everyone.
