'Boating at Cliveden' COVID-19 Policy
In order to operate as safely as possible we have taken the decision to continue with our enhanced cleaning and sanitisation procedures.
Please help us to ensure the safety of our staff and other visitors by respecting everyone's personal space through the current stages of this pandemic.
Getting to the river
The shuttle bus service is available from just outside the Walled Garden Main Visitor Car Park. Alternatively, take a 20-30 minute walk from the Main Visitor Car Park to the Boathouse via Yew Tree Steps or Spring Drive.
On foot
From the walled garden, walk towards the house and turn right before the forecourts. Walk alongside the Parterre to Yew Tree Steps to head down to the river. All boating starts from the Boathouse. Alternatively, for a step-free route, please use Spring Drive. A map will be sent through on your boat booking confirmation and can also be viewed here.
By boat
National Trust allow mooring downstream of Spring Cottage along the main riverbank and on two of the four islands. Please ensure you have found a mooring before making payment on the link below.
Boating at Cliveden and National Trust River Custodians regularly patrol the river along Cliveden Estate. Boating at Cliveden staff have been appointed by National Trust to collect the mooring fees for Cliveden Estate.
Please click the link below to pay your mooring fee, once you have found a mooring post.

- No fires at any time, or in any place.
- No bikes are permitted
- Music is to be kept low and with the consideration of others.
- No collection of wood.
- No visitors allowed in Cliveden’s grounds after estate closing time.
