Spend a perfect day in the historic riverside town of Ware, where great food and tranquil cruising come together for a truly memorable experience.

Your day begins with a delicious two-course lunch at a welcoming local pub set right on the banks of the river. Relax, unwind, and soak up the charming atmosphere as you enjoy freshly prepared dishes in this picturesque setting.

After lunch, your boat will arrive to meet you directly at the pub, ready to whisk you away for a leisurely three-hour afternoon cruise along the beautiful River Lee.As you glide along the water, you’ll pass the famous Ware gazebos — unique riverside structures that overhang the river’s edge and offer a glimpse into the town’s rich history. You’ll then cruise through the contrasting town centre before leaving the bustle behind and entering the peaceful surroundings of the stunning Amwell Nature Reserve in the Lee Valley.

The cruise lasts three hours and you will experience the crew expertly take you through fully working locks for a truly unique experience.

Note: This trip is arranged by Easton Coaches, and departs from their depot at Stratton Strawless
