Houseboating on the famous Thames
As you cruise along the Thames through the green countryside of southern England, you will pass typical English villages with pubs and restaurants right on the water. Enjoy afternoon tea and stroll through the royal grounds of Windsor Castle or visit the hallowed halls of Eton.
London can be reached quickly by train and is ideal for a day trip. Houseboats are permitted in the direction of London as far as Teddington Locks. For garden lovers, a trip to the Cliveden Country Estate with its impressive gardens and maze is well worthwhile.
If you start your houseboat holiday in Benson, you have the opportunity to visit Oxford with its magnificent cathedral and world-famous university by boat. Or you can head for Reading, one of England's top 10 cities for retail.
A houseboat trip in England also has its appeal for families, for example you can visit the Legoland and Thorpe Park theme parks as well as the large animal world in Beale Park.
