The direction the boat goes on the canal is decided by the boat captain on the day based on current conditions.

Going west from Odiham, you will see a mud barge, (used in dredging the canal during restoration in the 1970s and 80s), several canal bridges and will watch the lift bridge being raised on your way to King John’s Castle, which was captured by the French after a 2 week siege in 1216.

Going east you will pass Wilks Water and the former home of the Redgrave family and glide past the Four Season’s boat mooring.  Look out for the beautiful Old Thatch Garden and bronze horse on the right hand side. There are several typical narrow, arched bridges before we turn around at the winding hole just beyond Barley Mow wharf.
