Anglo Welsh – Oxford (Eynsham)

Anglo Welsh have a hire base near Oxford (at Eynsham) on the River Thames.

If you are cruising from there it’s essential you obtain a map which shows where all the waterway features are. Not only the locks and bridges but the places you can moor too.

Your will need the map to plan use of the facilities, such as the water points you need to stop at each day to fill up the water tank on the boat.

Watching a DVD will help give you an idea of what’s involved, particularly if you are a first time hirer, and give you a feel for what your holiday will be like.

Maps from Waterway Routes

These are the most up to date maps available, with monthly updates issued whenever there are changes.

Extract from my River Thames (Upper) Maps.

The maps are available in both Acrobat (pdf) format, ready for printing, or Memory-Map (qct) format with GPS tracking on smartphones and tablets.

Depending on the route you are following these maps will be essential for your cruise:
