Directions to Oxford and Abingdon
All scheduled trips depart from our Head office at Folly Bridge. Private Charters can depart either from Folly Bridge or from our slipway at Donnington Bridge.
Oxford

is the road which links St Aldates to the Abingdon road - nearest postcode
is OX1 4LA). Approach the city from the south, taking the Abingdon road
(A4144) into Oxford from the Redbridge roundabout. The landing stage
is on the right hand side as you pass over Folly bridge (on the opposite
side of the river from the well-known riverside pub Head of the River).
Nearest parking is at the Westgate shopping centre on Oxpens road or
customers can use the Park and Ride from the Redbridge roundabout. Oxford
train station is 0.8 miles from Folly bridge and coach parking is on
the Oxpens road by the Oxford ice-rink.
Oxford
(Donnington Bridge)
Salters' boats depart from our slipway on Meadow Lane (nearest postcode
is OX4 4BL). Approach the city centre from the south (as above) and
at the traffic lights (with the Fox and Hounds pub on the corner) turn
right down weirs lane. After going over Donnington bridge take the first
right down Meadow Lane and Salters slipway is the second drive on the
right hand side (where free parking is available). Oxford train station
is 1.6 miles from Donnington bridge and coaches can park on site provided
notice is given.
Abingdon
Salters' boats depart from the end of the beer garden in the Nag's Head
on the Thames pub (nearest postcode is OX14 3HY). From the A34 take
the turn for either Abingdon (north) or Abingdon (south) and follow
the road straight into the town centre. Upon reaching the one-way system
follow the road round clockwise until you see the left turn for Bridge
street (A415), which leads to Culham. Both car and coach parking can
be found on the left hand side after passing the Nag's Head (which is
on the bridge).
