Windsor offers mooring in one of the most scenic stretches of the non-tidal Thames, with Windsor Castle as a backdrop and the Great Park on the doorstep. Long-stay moorings at marinas in Windsor and the surrounding area — including Bray, Maidenhead, and Datchet — are in consistently high demand, reflecting both the quality of the environment and the excellent access to London (Windsor is around 40 minutes from Waterloo). The stretch of the Thames through Windsor is among the most beautiful in England, with a Boulter's Lock to Runnymede reach that has attracted artists and writers for centuries. Boat owners based here have direct access to the full non-tidal Thames.
