Please join us for an afternoon cruise along the Thames through the back garden of Windsor Castle, with views of the castle, Royal Farm and Queen Adelaide’s Cottage. We will pass through Old Windsor lock and the village of Datchet and then start our return journey at Romney Lock.
During this afternoon cruise we will be served with a delicious cream tea and there will be an informative commentary, pointing out all the interesting historical sights. Please note that if you have limited mobility or any dietary requirements, please mention this when making your booking.
Our Thames River Cruise will take 2 hours and will depart at 2:45pm prompt from Runnymede. Please arrive by 2:30pm so that you don’t miss the boat.
There is plenty to see in the Windsor and Runnymede area so why not plan to spend the morning seeing some of the local sights. In Windsor you could visit the castle, take a stroll along the Thames and have lunch. Runnymede itself is famous for Magna Carta and in addition to visiting the Magna Carta Memorial, you can enjoy various artworks (including the Jurors by Hew Locke), a new path along the Thames and more.
