Penton Hook Marina

24 July 2010

Set in 80 acres and with 575 berths, Penton Hook is Britain’s largest inland marina. It is situated on one of the loveliest reaches of the River Thames, close to the Chertsey and about a mile downstream from Runnymede where King John signed the Magna Carta.
There are numerous other places to visit on the Thames – cruise upstream to Windsor and the charming village of Datchet and follow the river as far as Oxford, taking in the many waterside restaurants on the way. Thorpe Park is also within walking distance, offering hours of fun and amusement for the whole family.
