Welcome to the Thames
This is a rive rich in boating history as well as being one of the most beautifulwaterways in the country. The Environment Agency, as navigation authority,welcomes you and hopes you will have time to explore the river and its traditions.
From Lechlade to Teddington our lock keepers and staff work hard to maintainlocks, weirs and water levels, patrol the river and provide mornings, sanitarystations, electricity charging points, campsites, angling platforms and otherfacilities. They are here to help, so please ask if you have any queries. We nowregister over 25,000 powered and unpowered craft every year, and as the river isincreasingly linked by new waterways to national network, we look forward toseeing more boaters from around the country.
To help your planning, the Agency publishes a range of free leaflets - A UsersGuide to the Thames, Camping by the River Thames, Tips for Visiting Boaters andHiring a Boat. We also publish, for a small charge, ‘Out and About Guides’ for eachreach of the river, providing details of nearby shops, launderettes, local hospitals,public transport, boating facilities, post offices, restaurants and more, as well assites of local interest. Please call the information line: 0845 601 5336 or see the Agency’s Thameswebsite www.visitthames.co.uk
Looking after the riverManaging the non-tidal Thames is a long-term project. Much of the river is animportant wildlife habitat and the Agency’s work involves balancing the needs ofvisitors, the boating trades community, businesses, residents and wildlife. Andmaking really substantial improvements to locks and riverside facilities requireshuge investment, and long term planning with local authorities, many landownersand residents, and hundreds of clubs and businesses. But we are getting there.Thames, Ahead, the projects set up in 2000 to promote the river and improvefacilities, has made considerable progress and was commended at the 2003Waterways Renaissance Awards.
We hope you enjoy you time on the river.

The Oxford is a narrow canalaccessible only to boats ofmaximum 6ft 10 beam and isentered by way of Dukes Cutand Dukes Lock or through theIsis Lock. The Oxford is acharming contour canal windingthrough the Rural countryside,linking the upper Thames withthe Grand Union Canal and theroute to Birmingham. Thereare no reciprocal licencearrangements for ThamesRegistration holders but shortterm licences are available.
Central Oxford
Few would argue that this is the best way to makeyour entrance into the city. The long tow path, collegeboat houses, Christ Church Meadow and the Cherwellwith its punts are all below Folly Bridge. While you aretrying your hand at punting you will see college'eights' practising. Oxford should be seen on foot –there is so much to see. A university city since the12th century. We suggest a stroll from the river to theTourist Information Centre and take the two-hourtour or frequent mini-bus tour. In the evening bookseats at the famous Playhouse Theatre.

Once the County Town of Berkshire,Abingdon is the first of a number ofimportant market towns on the river. Abingdonused to boast a powerful abbey and today there aretwo groups of monastic buildings remaining. Thesebuildings are in Thames Street next to the UpperReaches Hotel where a 14th century watermill can beseen from the restaurant. The moorings in Abingdonare an excellent feature of the town and are anencouragement to stay awhile and explore.
Half a mile upstream of Abingdon Lock is the nowdisused Swift Ditch Lock which was built in 1624. Onlythe second pound lock, the type of lock you see on theriver today, ever built in this country, it is situated in theSwift Ditch Backwater which was once the mainnavigation channel of the river.

WALLINGFORD
Wallingford
Celts, Romans, Saxons and Danes foughtfor the river crossing while William theConqueror marched on London fromHastings by way of Wallingford. From theriver it is the superb 900 ft. long bridge, only15 ft shorter than the old London Bridgethat heralds today's river crossing. A widevariety of inns, a busy market place, theexcellently restored Lamb Hotel into anantiques and craft arcade and the centuries-old remains of both castle and fortificationmake Wallingford a place to explore withthe 15th century George Hotel where DickTurpin once stayed.
Dorchester
From Day's Lock take the path over DykeHills for the half mile walk into Dorchester.Strictly speaking Dorchester is on Thameand not Thames for it is to the southopposite Little Wittenham Wood that theRiver Thames offers itself to the evergrowing Father Thames. An area rich inhistory, Dorchester was once thecathedral city of Wessex and later Mercia,from the 7th to the 9th centuries. TheAbbey, with its Jesse window, is one ofthe most important buildings in theThames Valley.

Boat Safety Certificate
The Boat Safety Scheme is a joint initiative ofthe Environment Agency and British Waterwaysfor boats on the rivers and canals in their care.In addition various other navigation authoritieshave now adopted the scheme for use on theirown waters Your boat must be examined and aBoat Safety Certificate issued before you canobtain a river or canal licence. The Boat SafetyCertificate is valid for four years from the dateof issue. You will find a list of Boat SafetyExaminers on this page.
When are Boat Safety Certificates required ?
Since 1st January 2000 all powered boats on theEnvironment Agency Waters, which includes thenon-tidal Thames, and all powered boats onBritish Waterways waters require a Boat SafetyCertificate in order to obtain a licence to navigatethose waters.
The only exceptions are new boats built underthe RCD which do not require a BSS certificatefor the first four years, and privately owned openboats powered by an outboard motor. �Privatelyowned� in this case means not let out for hire orreward.
Recreational Craft Directive
The Recreational Craft Directive (RCD), is aseparate piece of EU legislation, concerned withstandards of construction for all new boats - notjust canal and river boats - and came into forceon June 16th 1998. It applies to boatbuilders -with a few exceptions, to all boats over 2.5metres sold for leisure use after that date. AnRCD Certificate can be used to obtain a RiverRegistration and again is valid for four years.After that you will need to obtain a Boat SafetyCertificate in the usual way.
