Windsor Marina Visitor Guide

In a tranquil garden setting, with a large river frontage for easy mooring, this 175 berth marina is one of the most attractive marinas on the Thames. There are many places of interest within a day's cruising. Upstream, the Thames is navigable as far as Lechlade. Between Windsor and Oxford there are several riverside inns, stately homes and gardens to visit including Cliveden Mansion, with its extensive Italianate gardens and woodlands. Downstream lie Eton and the charming village of Datchet. If you're planning to visit Thorpe Park, our Penton Hook Marina makes an ideal stopping place. Just a four hour cruise from Windsor Marina, Penton Hook Marina also makes a convenient overnight stop before cruising on to Central London, some six hours away. more about Windsor Marina...
