Public Trips
We operate Public Trips from our landing stage at the rear of The Cunning Man, Burghfield Bridge, Reading and from adjacent to the Queens Road Car Park in the centre of Reading.
Garston LockOur public trips are based around a Sunday afternoon trip from The Cunning Man to Garston Lock and back. We pass through Burghfield Lock then soon rejoin the river as it meanders through the Calcot water meadows. We pass under the M4 and continue to Garston Lock. We turn here and stop for a short break to have a look at the unique turf-sided lock with its GWR broad-gauge rail framework and the WWII pill-boxes. We then return through Burghfield Lock to The Cunning Man. This cruise is extended at certain times to commence at Queens Road Car Park and return there afterwards.
We also operate cruises around Reading Town Centre from Queens Road Car Park. These cruises pass through The Oracle to County Lock where we turn and return through The Oracle and go down towards Blakes Lock then turn into the Abbey Loop cruising past Chestnut Walk and the Abbey Ruins before returning to Queens Road Car Park. These cruises may be extended through County Lock to cruise past Waterloo Meadows and turn at Foudrey Brook.
Booking in advance is not normally necessary but it is advisable to check for last minute changes. A private charter will be take precedence over the public trips but at least 2 weeks notice of any such changes will be given on this web site.
We offer additional cruises in conjunction with our boat movements to meet our Charter commitments. We also operate trips at special events.
