Salters Steamers operate an Oxford to Abingdon scheduled boat service 7 days a week between 23rd May and 13th September (weather permitting). Starting opposite Christchurch Meadows and finishing in the market town of Abingdon this is one of the most picturesque journeys in Oxfordshire.
Salters Steamers have been running both scheduled services and short boat trips from Oxford and Abingdon for over 100 years and are an established part of the Thames traffic in Oxfordshire in the high season. If a half day's excursion is what is required, Salter's short boat trips to Culham Lock and back might fit the bill.
Salters' Steamers operate the most popular scheduled boat service along the river Thames, serving Oxford, Abingdon, Reading, Henley, Marlow and Windsor. They also run shorter round trips from most of these towns and cities, which makes for a special half day out in some of Oxfordshire's most beautiful countryside.
As would be expected of this university city, Oxford has a huge number of excellent museums - some very specialist and some more general. Our website has a comprehensive listing, but this article highlights the top 5 most visited museums in Oxford.
