Wallingford to Abingdon Service
Please note we are now operating from Abingdon Bridge Marine moorings.
(Monday, Friday and Sunday only from May to September)
This Service is only available for Pre Booked Groups of 40 or more Passengers.
Salter’s Steamers have been operating from Wallingford since 1888 and this picturesque service runs through some beautiful rolling countryside, which is punctuated by a number of interesting villages. Highlights of the journey include Shillingford House, the striking redbrick bridge at Clifton Hampden, Dorchester Abbey and finally the magnificant waterfront of the market town of Abingdon (with the dominant spire of St Helen’s Church)
