Willow Tree Marina to Windsor (5 nights)
This 5-night cruise takes you on a delightful journey and sightseeing trip on the Grand Union canal as well as the River Thames.
We begin at Willow Tree Marina, a picturesque and tranquil spot surrounded by walking trails and green spaces. It’s the perfect place to stretch your legs before setting off on the canal, travelling to Thames lock at Brentford where the canal meets the tidal Thames. Here we pass through the lock to enter the river. The route offers pleasant river views, wildlife and busy boating activity as you approach the vibrant Surrey market town of Kingston Upon Thames a stone’s throw from central London.
The Thames between Kingston and Windsor offers a wealth of stunning scenery, historic buildings and impressive waterway architecture, with much to see and appreciate throughout the cruise. For the avid walker, the Thames Path follows the river along the entire length of the cruise, so cruisers wishing to experience part of the route from the shore can stretch their legs between stops without losing sight of the boat
Leaving Kingston, we take a pleasant cruise upstream to the visitor moorings at Hampton Court, on the doorstep of the historic Royal Palace and gardens. This is a stunning location and provides the perfect opportunity for guests to visit Hampton with ample time to explore the spectacular Palace and grounds.
Our visit over, we cruise on through Sunbury, Walton and Shepperton, home of the famous Shepperton Film Studios, to reach Weybridge where the river Wey meets the Thames. Below the lock the last remaining ferry on the non-tidal Thames joins the Thames Path for walkers where it crosses the river.
From here the river twists and turns through Chertsey, Staines and Egham to reach Runnymede, home of the Magna Carta Memorial, RAF Memorial and Kennedy Memorial, all a short walk from the riverbank.
The splendid and historic town of Windsor is a short cruise from Runnymede through Old Windsor. Our final stop here allows ample time to explore the delights of Windsor and Eton, including Windsor Castle, Windsor Great Park and Eton College to name but a few.
