Rowing in Henley

Ready to row against the current or simply let the river take you? Rent a rowboat from Hobbs of Henley in Henley-on-Thames and take a trip down the river surrounded by the stunning historic town and natural beauty of this area. Control the pace and the intensity of your journey with your oars and even row the course where so many professional rowers have gone before. Rent for up to five people for anywhere upwards of an hour, or really make a day of it by renting for the whole day! You can even order a hamper to refuel after rowing and have a picnic with family and friends either in the boat or on the river bank. This activity is a lovely way to spend the day and well worth adding to your stack if you want to get the most out of your visit to Henley-on-Thames.

Best known for hosting the Royal Regatta, Henley-on-Thames has hosted some of the world’s best rowers for years and has a rich history both in the world of rowing sports and beyond. Since the town dates all the way back to the 12th century it’s also full of wonderful historic buildings to explore. If you want to stretch your legs after sitting in a boat for so long then there are beautiful walks all around Henley and the surrounding countryside.  If you’re interested in learning more about the town’s history with rowing why not stop at the River and Rowing museum?
