Boyn Grove Library

Libraries don't usually feature in holiday guides, but this compact branch tucked into Windsor and Maidenhead borough deserves a mention for practical reasons. Boyn Grove Library serves the local community with the usual mix of books, computers and quiet study spaces - nothing flashy, but properly useful if you're staying nearby and need wifi, want to research local walks, or the kids fancy some reading material for a rainy caravan evening.

Families camping at nearby Hurley Riverside Park or Amerden Caravan Park might find it handy during school holidays. The building itself won't win any architectural prizes, but the staff are helpful and there's usually parking outside. It's the sort of place you'd pop into for twenty minutes rather than plan an afternoon around.

Being close to Marlow, you're well placed to combine a quick library stop with exploring the Thames Path or grabbing supplies in town. The opening hours aren't exactly tourist-friendly - assume standard weekday mornings and maybe Saturday mornings - so don't rely on it being open when you need it most. Worth knowing about if you're staying locally, but hardly essential viewing.
