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.
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, turning 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.
