Wallingford to Reading Service
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 service is the longest of our scheduled cruises (15 miles of glorious Thames scenery). Highlights of the cruise include a number of famous waterside restaurants (including the Beetle and Wedge at Moulsford and the Swan at Streatley), striking private housing at both Pangbourne and Caversham as well as the popular tourist attractions of Beale Wildlife park, the splendid Mapledurham House and 15th century mill.
Beale Park is now accesible by Salters Steamer. What better way to get to the Wildlife Park than arriving by River!
