Canoe the Thames with Marlow Boating in Henley-on-Thames

Duration: 1 hour, 2 hours, Half Day or Full Day

Canoe Hire from and back to our Base - Bisham (Marlow)

About

Our Canadian canoes are a wonderful way to explore the tranquillity of the River Thames.

A 1 hour hire will allow you to paddle downstream, towards Marlow passing a number of magnificent houses and under the famous Marlow Suspension bridge. Turn at the lock to make your journey back towards Bisham Abbey.

For longer hires you will have time to paddle through the lock at Marlow, downstream towards Bourne End and even on to Cookham. Alternatively you can paddle upstream towards Hurley Lock.

Paddlers can exit on to the grass at the lock, have a picnic, or leave the boats and walk in to Hurley village to get an ice-cream or have a pub lunch. For those wanting a longer challenge, head further upstream in to the Hambleden stretch or even on to Henley.
