Le Boat – The Countess

Benson is located at the quiet and rural end of the Thames where the river is flanked by rolling countryside and farmland and quaint villages. Moorings are easy to find and the distance between locks is slightly greater than at the river’s eastern end – which means more cruising. The dreaming spires and universities of Oxford is a 6hr cruise to the west of Benson. Or, head east and in 6hrs you’ll be in Henley-on-Thames, home of British rowing. Royal Windsor is 12 hrs from Benson.

Along the way, you can stop at waterside pubs for a bit of steak and kidney pie! You’ll smile as you recall the varied charms of your Thames riverboat cruise, a unique way to travel! The world just looks different from a boat.
