Enjoy taking one of our new pedalo boats out onto the River Cherwell. Pedalos have the advantage of allowing those of us who like to do no more than just sit down and peddle to still be able to enjoy the beautiful river environment.

The trip: As you set off south from the boathouse paddle past Oxford's famous Botanic Gardens, through Christ Church College Meadows, where Lewis Carroll taught in the mid-19th century when he wrote the famous Alice Through the Looking Glass (1871) and Alice in Wonderland (1865). Then either take the river left past St Hilda's College gardens, past the stunning Magdalen School rose gardens, under the miniature white bridges and back past the Botanic Gardens to the Boathouse. Or alternatively, if you are feeling adventurous, continue south towards the Isis (Oxford's name for the River Thames), along the entire Christ Church Meadow to where the river opens up for you to enjoy this stunning natural river environment.

Another option is to travel north from the Boathouse, past Magdalen College Tower and up past the Angel and Greyhound meadows, past Magdalen College gardens and into Oxford's stunning countryside

Prices: Our pedalo boats take up to 5 people and cost £18.00 per hour during the week and £20.00 per hour at weekends.
