a children's adventure across land and water

AHOY THERE!

The Oxford Boat Adventure offers children the opportunity to experience outdoor life around a secluded lake. Soak up the great Oxfordshire outdoors by boat, land on islands, light campfires, share adventures with friends, both old and new, and learn some of the skills that make the countryside come alive.

“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats”. Ratty and Mole’s adventures on and beside the water inspired The Oxford Boat Adventure.
