Includes a scenic drive by luxury coach along sections of the River Thames from Runnymede to Henley-on-Thames, with time in Marlow and Henley-on-Thames.
We first meet up with the River Thames at Runnymede and follow it through Datchet and Eton then on past Cookham, where Kenneth Grahame wrote The Wind in the Willows, to our first visit in Marlow. This vibrant Georgian market town is made up of historic streets and abundance of boutique shops, restaurants, cafes and bistros all adding to the towns unique charm. The town’s most famous landmark is the suspension bridge, spanning the River Thames and joining the counties of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. Marlow has always been known as a fashionable riverside resort and attracted many famous people to the area. One of these was Jerome K. Jerome, an English writer and humourist, best known for the comic travelogue ‘Three Men in a Boat’ in which he describes a two-week boating holiday on the Thames. Marlow is also home to one of Britain’s most premier rowing clubs which has produced many Olympic oarsmen including Sir Steve Redgrave whose statue stands in Higginson Park. After time to explore and have lunch, we continue our drive along the Thames to Henley-on-Thames, renowned for its stunning location on the river and the annual Royal Regatta, a world-famous rowing event. There are riverside gardens, a pub where King Charles I drank, quirky shopping, galleries, cosy tea rooms and the River & Rowing Museum.
