The Grand Ring

3 week route

Trent and Mersey

Not for the faint hearted, or the novice! It is best done clockwise down the Grand Union past Stoke Bruerne to Brentford, then up the tidal Thames to Teddington. The Thames takes you past Hampton Court and Windsor to Oxford where you head north past Banbury back to the base. There is an enormous amount to see on the way and plenty of variety, but beware of the delays at the Thames Locks in the height of the Season.

An extra licence is required for the Thames.

An extra licence is needed for Canal Holidays on the Avon.
