Pangourne- Re-live the same boat journey on the River Thames as Jerome K Jerome in his book '3 men In A Boat' and cruise to Pangbourne. Cruising Notes To accompany your journey you may wish to read 'Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, which is a humorous account by English writer Jerome K. Jerome of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers – the jokes seem fresh and witty even today. Day 1 With Caversham on your right cruise past Reading on your left, just a short distance from the marina is Caversham Lock. Lock keepers on the Thames are generally available between 9am and 6pm during the summer season and take their lunch 1-2pm. The lock keepers are there to help you through the locks and also to maintain the lock site and facilities and operating the weir. If they are not available they will display a blue ‘self-service’ sign. When this is displayed there will be operating instructions provided. Between the 2 bridges is Fry's island. The Thames continues past Tilehurst and soon Mapledurham House is reached with mooring just beyond the lock. The house is still occupied by the Blount family who bought it in 1490, and built the present Elizabethan manor house, with grounds sweeping right down to the Thames. Mapledurham House dates from 1588 and is thought to be the model for Toad Hall and was also used in the filming of 'Where Eagles Dare'. Pass to the east of the island 1/4 mile below Mapledurham lock and either side of the island 1/4 mile above the lock. Moor for the night before Whitchurch Toll Bridge, there should be moorings on your left in Pangbourne Meadow a national trust property of 7 acres. The town of Pangbourne is on your left. The Nautical college is an imposing William and Mary style mansion built in 1897 . Pangbourne is also the home of Kenneth Grahame, author of The Wind in the Willows he lived in Church Cottage and told this story to his 4 year old son Alastair in 1904. It is 3 hours to here Day 2 After the toll bridge there is Whitchurch lock to negotiate. The wide reach above Whitchurch is often busy with sailing and rowing boats from Pangburne College. The Thames enters open farmland and one of its most pretty stretches. Beale Park , to your left, covers 300 acres of water meadows, and the bird collection includes peacocks, flamingoes, parrots, and rare owls. Open March-Dec 10.00-18.00. There is mooring here, also nearby is Basildon Park & house. Now run by the National trust, built around 1776, this is the most splendid Palladian mansion in Berkshire. Open Wed-Sun 13.00-17.30 April -Oct. Also gardens and woodland walks. The brick Gatehampton railway Bridge was built by Brunel. Goring is set in a splendid deep wooded valley by one of the most spectacular reaches on the River. The Church Bell dates from 1290 and is one of the oldest in England. There are moorings before Goring bridge. See links below for moorings Day 3 Day 4 It is 4 hours back to Caversham, so plenty of time to have a look around and stretch those sea legs - Two National Trails – The Ridgeway and the Thames Path intersect at Goring and Streatley, making the villages a popular stopping off point for those who prefer long distance walks. However the area is equally popular for its countryside allowing pleasant strolls both along the river and on the beautiful hills that bestride the Goring Gap with magnificent views in all directions across Oxfordshire and Berkshire. As a visitor you will be spoilt for choice if you are looking for the perfect picnic spot.

  • Mapledurham Lock
    Account of Purley on Thames Mapledurham Lock The Flash Lock From mediaeval times there was a weir at Mapledurham, owned by the Lords of Mapledurham to store water for the use of their mill. In order to provide for navigation parts of the weir would be removed to allow vessels to pass. This process was known as flashing. Going downstream it was relatively easy as the bargeman merely had to steer for the gap amd he was 'flashed' through. Going upstream was a lot more difficult and usually there was a windlass set into the bank a bit upstream and the vessel was attached to a rope and wound through against the current. One or two of these windlasses have survived and the site of the one at Pangbourne is known. However we do not know where the one at Mapledurham was located, but it would almost certainly have been on the Oxfordshire side about a quarter of a mile above the mill. The great difficulty with flash locks was that they lost a lot of water from the river and so reduced the level of the upper reach that it could sometimes be two or three days before there was enough water to run the mill. Naturally the millers were very loath to allow flashing and usually levied very high charges as well as making the barges wait. A secondary effect was that in the reach above the flash a boat could be grounded because of shortage of water. After the formation of the Thames Commissioners in 1771 a timetable for the flashes was devised so that the water from one flash could be used to restore the reach below it to avoid flooding and shortages of water.
