Cruising Rings: South of England Circuit
 
Easily reachable from London and Reading, Oxford is fast becoming a haven for the Short Break Holiday.

Sat on the banks of the Thames, this slow flowing stretch is perfect for beginners, and with the base operating from within a working boatyard & marina,there is always plenty of expert tuition on hand.

Head along the Upper Thames for a couple of days to Lechlade; this typically Cotswold town is delightful and a totally relaxing option for the stressed!

The centre of Oxford is only three hours cruising south of the base, where you can soak up the atmosphere of this historic city.

For the more adventurous, a leisurely 14-day cruise will take you to Heart of London; allowing for a couple of days sightseeing; and still have enough time to stop for anything you missed on the way back!! Oxford, just the place to dip your toe!!
Monkton Combe
 
Poised below the ‘Viaduct Inn’ this bustling base sits at the end of the Somerset Coal Canal, a quaint arm of waterway that branches from the Kennet & Avon Canal. With Bath just a 4-hour cruise away, the base is becoming a favourite for City Breaks of the Floating Kind!

Charming Bradford-on-Avon is a great weekend break from the base, whilst Devizes and back would need a midweek four night break. With Bristol to the west within easy reach on a one week break; and east to Reading reachable in a fortnight, this base has something for everyone. Monkton Combe, an individual base with lots of character and lots to offer!

Bath
Elegant Bath, the River Avon, Kennet &
Avon Canal
 

Stunning Bath truly deserves its‘World Heritage City’ crown as it oozes history and style. Our Wharf nestles elegantly within the carefully maintained Sydney Gardens, and is just a short walk from the city’s centre.

Cruising from Bath on the Kennet & Avon, you’ll really get a chance to sample the beauty of the Cotswolds. With Bristol, Bradford-on-Avon, Hungerford and Reading all ‘cruisable’ this ever popular base is our classic option for a “floating accommodation break”
