The Thames Ring

The Thames Ring is one of the longest Canal and River rings that takes in the Grand Union Canal, Oxford Canal and the River Thames

It takes about 35 days, dependant on your pace, and travel 245 miles and go through 176 locks on both the Canals and Rivers.

If you are planning on doing the Thames Ring our map shows all the place in our database on the ring (Approx 400+ locations, with lots more in the schedule), we are always updating this, So if you want to find a Mooring, Pub and Restaurants as well as location you can purchase Diesel or get a Pump out or fill with Water.

To check for scheduled closures and other problems, it is best to visit the CRT Notices and stoppages page

River/Canal Route Planning

If you are looking for a canal/river route planner, we recommend Canal Plan, we use it to plan our routes, and then once we have a plan our maps are useful to find what else there is on the way
