Situated at the point where the River Thames truly begins its journey as a navigable waterway, this lively spot just outside Lechlade is a fantastic place to experience river life.
It serves as a central hub for boating in the upper Thames, where you’ll see everything from narrowboats embarking on longer voyages to smaller craft enjoying a relaxed day on the water.
You can spend time simply watching the boats come and go, or take a gentle stroll along the riverbanks, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. It’s also a convenient place if you’re looking to get out on the water yourself, with various boating services available. The historical significance of Lechlade as the highest navigable point on the Thames is evident here, connecting the town’s past with its vibrant present.
Beyond the marina, the friendly market town of Lechlade is a short walk away, offering places to eat and local shops. For further exploration, you’re well-placed to visit the nearby hamlets and villages like Inglesham, Little Faringdon, Great Lemhill, Buscot, Upper Inglesham, and Kelmscott, each providing a glimpse into the tranquil rural landscape of this part of Gloucestershire.
