The trip

Explore The Waterways of Reading

From Caversham Pier we will cruise under Caversham and Reading bridges and pass through Caversham Lock. For part of the journey from here we will be joined by local expert Terry from Terry's Reading Walkabouts who will share stories about Reading as we turn to head up the Kennet and navigate Blakes lock before arriving in the Abbey Quarter. A truly unique cruise.
