The Thames Canoes Experience

Hire a canoe for a day, weekend, or week of care free and environmentally friendly cruising on the River Thames.

The river starts its journey as a trickle of water flowing through a field in the Cotswolds, 30 miles above Cricklade. Beyond the town it becomes a small wild stream and by the time it reaches the pretty town of Lechlade the river widens to accommodate small motor boats.

Oxford to Windsor by river is the perfect way to view grand old houses, churches, colleges and even a castle. Verdant banks overhanging in many places, sheltering some of the natural wildlife on the river and a fresh scene around each bend - from the formal to wild, there's something for everyone.

A series of locks helps manage the river as it flows onwards and the river tells its own story of the centuries of trade and leisure that's passed along it. By the time the Thames reaches Teddington it has a tidal strength where it finally meets the sea.

The Thames is one of the finest and safest canoe touring rivers in England, winding its way through miles of traditional English countryside.

The river has excellent connections to public transport, fine riverside camping, hotels, pubs and shopping.

Thames Canoes meet you with all your rented equipment and then all you need to do is sit back, gently dip the paddle in the water, and enjoy the river as it winds its way through the heart of England's most beautiful scenery.
