Racing and River Boat Museum

A chance to see racing dinghies and rivercraft from around the world.

Racing and River Boat Museum is a great place for kids who are interested in boats and for families who would like a relaxing but interesting day out.

The exhibits include historic kayaks and canoes, rowing and river boats, plus other small river craft. The collection of canoes is one of the best in the UK, with twenty from around the world, including one made from a single sheet of birch bark and some dating back to the 1850s!

The wide variety of Thames craft has skiffs, coracles and a racing four to investigate, plus several interesting items on loan.
