How to get there

Our hire boats and kiosk are located near the Wallingford bridge, at the bottom of the steps adjacent to the Boat House pub terrace, across the river from the Riverside Park & Pools splash-park. (Use postcode OX10 0BL to locate our site, if you are coming by foot.)

If you are coming by car, use the Riverside Car Park.

Parking

The Riverside Car Park (postcode OX10 8EB), right across the river from our Wallingford boat hire location, is the closest place to park your car when you visit us.

Once your car is parked, it is a short 4 minute walk across the Wallingford bridge and then down the steps on your right. 

How to get there

Our hire boat is located at The Beetle & Wedge Riverside Inn & Restaurant on Ferry Lane in Moulsford, Oxfordshire (OX10 9JF).

Please have a look at the parking information below.

Parking

Parking spaces at The Beetle & Wedge are very limited, so (unless you have also pre-booked a meal) please park in the village car park at the Recreation Ground, which is located a 7 minute walk away on the main road between Streatley and Wallingford.

(Use postcode OX10 9JE to find this car park.) 

How to get there

Our hire boats are located at The Swan at Streatley hotel.

Parking at The Swan at Streatley is very limited and is therefore mainly reserved for hotel guests & diners.

Nautical Knot
PureBoating Logo
We are a self-drive and skippered day boat hire company on one of the most beautiful reaches of the River Thames between Reading (Berkshire) and Wallingford (Oxfordshire). Since opening Pure Boating back in 2015 our electric hire boats have silently graced the river between Wallingford and Streatley.

Our crew are passionate about the River Thames and know the boating environment intimately. They can advise not only on river safety and boat operation but also on where to picnic, good riverside restaurants, where the kingfishers fly and the Loddon lilies grow.
