Oxford to Abingdon
Please note we depart from the Abingdon Bridge Marine moorings.
This Service will run Monday to Thursday only, from Monday 21st July to Thursday 28th August 2025.
This is one of our most popular services which starts by Christ Church Meadows and finishes in the picturesque market town of Abingdon.
