Kelmscott Manor
Embark on a serene and picturesque canoe trip along the Thames, starting from our base in Lechlade and venturing towards the enchanting Kelmscott Manor. Kelmscott Manor, located in the idyllic countryside, is the historic house that once belonged to the renowned writer and designer, William Morris. Immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of this charming manor, where Morris found inspiration for his work.
Paddle the Thames and Discover the History of Kelmscott Manor...
castle eaton to lechlade
Paddle downstream back to our base at Lechlade taking in the tranquillity of the river.
This trip is the most adventurous of our trips, there are no motorised traffic or locks, however, there are a few overhanging trees and challenging sections to navigate. It’s hard to believe this is the same River Thames that we all know, as it is narrow, bendy and totally rural.

lechlade to radcot
This trip is the perfect 3 to 4-hour paddle. You will head downstream from Lechlade under the stone bridge, passing through St Johns, Buscot and Grafton Locks.
This section of the river is also used by motorised vessels so care must be taken. Although busier, this section of the River still enjoys a rural setting, where you will see cyclists and walkers on the Thames footpath.
