About

An afternoon cruise on the upper reaches of the Thames with a light lunch.

Departing from Caversham Pier this round cruise, with a reserved table, leaves the bustle of Reading behind. A peaceful and calming atmosphere, stunning scenery and delicious lunch served to you onboard. 

The trip

Three hours cruising though Wind in the Willows country

This three hour cruise through the scenic "Wind in the Willows" country offers a relaxing journey along the picturesque Caversham and Mapledurham reaches of the River Thames. Guests enjoy a homemade light lunch while passing iconic spots like Reading's three bridges, riverside homes, parklands, and the tranquil meanders of the river. The cruise continues, tuning at Mapledurham lock & weir, where Mapledurham House, thought to have inspired Toad's home in Wind in the Willows, is nestled. The area is renowned for its stunning scenery and serene atmosphere, making it a delightful experience for nature lovers.
