| Journey |
| Board the boat at Staines - the ancient start of
the tidal Thames before the locks were built. Continue on beyond
Chertsey, passing through Coway Sail where Julius Caesar forded
the river. Then on through Sunbury Lock which has a unique second
lock adjacent to it still in operation. On approaching Hampton
Court, you will pass some lovely house boats, some formely owned
by stars such as Diana Dors. You are then afforded superb views
of Cardinal Wolsey's majestic palace. |
| At 14.30 passengers can board the boat again for
a relaxing return journey back through the beautiful reaches
of Sunbury, Shepperton and Chertsey and then on to Staines. |
| Suitability |
| Groups have plenty of time to eat lunch on board,

| This relaxing cruise is perfect for any group wishing
to visit the palace and perhaps puzzle out the famous maze before
taking a relaxing cruise back to Staines. |
