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

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

Cruise times may be extended in low water conditions.
