Where to go
The river speed limit is 5mph, so plan your trip by time rather than distance.
Upstream and down
We're in the middle, so you can head either way. Upstream takes you to Days Lock — a comfortable two hours there and back, and the trip most people take — and on towards Abingdon and Oxford. Downstream you pass Moulsford, where the Beetle & Wedge sits right on the bank, then Goring and Pangbourne.
