Brilliant stops along the River Rapids

Travelling past characterful villages, verdant woodland and wildflower meadows, the River Rapids is a bus route like no other. En route, you can hop off to walk amongst some of the UK’s oldest redwoods, visit absorbing museums and board historic locomotives.  

With so much to see and do on the River Rapids X40, it’s hard to narrow it down to just day out. To make planning your trip even easier, we’ve put together some of our favourite sightseeing ideas along the route, all just a bus stop away! 

Oxford

The bustling heart of Oxfordshire, woven with universities and colleges, Oxford is a must-see location for any visitor on the River Rapids X40. A popular filming location for TV and cinema, the city is easily recognisable from appearances in Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, X-Men and Mamma Mia, as well as a plethora of others.  

Explore the rich history of the city on foot with a walking tour, or enjoy a ride on an open-top bus tour for a bird’s-eye view of the sights. 

Hop off the River Rapids X40 on Oxford’s High Street for the open-top bus, university colleges and meadows, alight or at the Westgate for Oxford’s shopping centre and the Castle. 

Open-top bus and walking tours

If you’re keen to get your bearings, then a City Sightseeing bus tour is a great place to start.

Oxford’s premier tour operator, the open-top bus tours are a staple of the city centre. Their distinctive red buses cruise past some of Oxford’s most famous landmarks. The buses are hop-on, hop-off, meaning that you can get off and explore wherever you like, before rejoining the tour for the next stop! Every tour includes an audio guide, which comes in a whopping 14 languages, while live guides join the tour hourly for a truly unique experience. For kids, Mia Cloo’s Oxford Quest has special commentary and a workbook to solve, all included in the ticket price.

Throughout the year, City Sightseeing Oxford also hosts a range of events for kids to enjoy. Search for rabbits on the Bunny Hop Trail, collect stamps on the Passport Trail or spot Santa’s helpers on the Elf Trail. Be sure to check out the website before you go to see what seasonal adventures are on offer.

If you prefer exploring on foot, then the Oxford Uncovered Walking Tour is the way to go. Included in the price of your bus tour, or available separately, this 60-minute amble brings you up close and personal with some of Oxford’s best landmarks and hidden gems. Led by a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, each tour is interactive and unique. Small group sizes mean that you can ask your questions at any time, and each tour guide brings their own style, knowledge and favourite facts that are unique to them, so no two tours are exactly alike.  

If you’re planning on exploring Oxford to the fullest, City Sightseeing Oxford also offer Super Saver Combined Tickets. In a great value package, you can get entry to some of the city’s top attractions with your bus tour ticket at a great price!

Plan your journey 

Carfax Tower

Towering above the Oxford skyline are the remains of the 13th-century St Martin’s Church, known today as Carfax Tower. Stewarded by City Sightseeing Oxford, tradition in Oxford dictates that no building may be built taller than Carfax, leading to some incredible views of the city for those willing to brave the 99 steps to the top. Oxford University by-laws also indicate that certain students must live within 6 miles of the tower, weaving it still more tightly into the story of Oxford.

There is a small charge to enter and explore the tower for yourself, but this can be combined with your City Sightseeing Oxford tour to make for a brilliant day out!

Theatres in Oxford

For a city best known for its dreaming spires, Oxford also knows a thing or two about putting on a show.

Whether you’re seeking dramatic performances, musical extravaganzas, educational lectures or passionate poetry, you’ll find it here.

Just a 6-minute walk from the River Rapids’ High Street stop is one of Oxford’s most iconic buildings. Completed in 1669, the Sheldonian is the oldest theatre in Oxford, and a well-respected institution in the city. Filled with delicate frescoes, groundbreaking architectural feats and golden inlays, the theatre is worth a visit just to look around inside alone.

Today the Sheldonian hosts a raft of events throughout the year for visitors to enjoy. When not being used for Oxford University ceremonies, visitors can enjoy an eclectic mix of things to see and do. Global conferences, literary festivals and guest speakers come from across the globe to perform at the Sheldonian. The theatre also regularly hosts different symphony orchestras for those wanting to enjoy an evening of classical music.

From side-splitting comedy and interactive events, to touring musicals and serious theatre, it can all be found at the New Theatre Oxford. Since 1934, the New Theatre has been a hub in Oxford for great evenings out. With Art Deco charm in spades the New Theatre is all sweeping gold, red and cream detailing,  with plush carpets and comfy seats adding to that air of luxury.  

Throughout the year, the theatre hosts a variety of different events for visitors to get stuck in with. From learning the art of theatre to special effects and backstage tours, it’s an excellent opportunity to take a peek behind the curtain and discover the inner workings of theatre productions.

Visiting the theatre with the kids? Why not swing by the Oxford Playhouse? Though they have many more productions on, like local theatre, classic comedies and historic plays, the Playhouse also hosts plenty of kid-friendly events for little ones to enjoy. Beloved CBeebies superstars, educational shows and popular pantos are all on offer, perfect for children’s first concert or encouraging a future love of theatregoing. Why not stop in on your next River Rapids journey and see what’s on?

Museums in Oxford

From tribal tattoo kits to the only surviving remains of a Dodo bird, you can’t talk about Oxford without mentioning its museums.

Perhaps the best place to start is the Ashmolean Museum. Established in 1683, the Ashmolean Museum was the world’s second university museum, and still houses a veritable cabinet of curiosities. From Guy Fawkes’ lantern, carried at the time of his arrest, to authentic samurai armour and the historic Alfred Jewel, the collection at the Ashmolean is unparalleled. View art and artefacts from across human history, with iconic works from world-famous artists on display. The museum regularly hosts different workshops and events for visitors to get stuck in with. Learn heritage crafting techniques, create masterpieces with the family or listen carefully in a talk or guided tour. For kids, the museum offers an Ashmolean Adventure. With games, quizzes, stories and sounds, it’s a fun way for families to explore the museum.

Oxford is a city steeped in history, and in 1975 it was decided that a place was needed to celebrate it. Thus, the Museum of Oxford came to be! Home to pieces including the personal possessions of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell, Cold War artefacts and Oliver Cromwell’s death mask, the museum carefully documents the history of Oxford and how it has changed over time.  

Kids can wonder at the exhibits on a Gallery Trail or pick up an Explorer Backpack to see the whole museum in a whole new way.  

To make it a proper day out, check out the museum’s Upcoming Events ahead of time. From themed tours to getting hands-on with the collection, the Museum of Oxford always has something on to appeal.

Jump into the pages of your favourite fairytales at the Story Museum. Perfect for kids or book-loving grown-ups alike, more than 1,001 stories are brought to life within its walls. From picture books and traditional tales to modern comics and video games, stories are told here in every format imaginable. 

Small Worlds is ideal for the littlest visitors, with roleplay and story zones, while the Galleries are great for big kids with immersive story spaces and enchanted libraries. You could spend a whole day exploring the museum as a family, and still uncover something new on your next visit!

Covered Market

Opened all the way back in 1774, the Covered Market is a must-see stop when visiting Oxford on the River Rapids X40! Home to local artisans, unique gifts and tasty treats, the market is an ideal stop to see some of the best that Oxford has to offer. Pick up one of the best cookies you’ll ever taste at Ben’s Cookies' flagship store, enjoy a milkshake at student favourite Moo Moo’s, or sit back and relax with a strong coffee and good book at Gulp Fiction. Just a six-minute walk from the River Rapids stop, it's an ideal place to pick up a gift, treat yourself, or enjoy a bit of people-watching.

Plan your journey

Oxford Castle Prison

Built in 1071 by Norman Baron Robert D’Oyly, Oxford Castle Prison has worn many hats over the centuries.

From a symbol of domination to a Civil War capital, to a historic prison to the modern tourist attraction that we know and love today, the castle’s influence cannot be understated. Today, visitors on the River Rapids can enjoy spookily wonderful tours around the grounds, learning all about the castle and its inhabitants of the past, including a few who allegedly still lurk the halls. Follow your costumed guide to learn more about the candle-lit crypt, Saxon tower and more. Don’t forget to stop by the cells and have your mugshot taken before paying for your crimes at the gift shop!

Westgate Shopping Centre

Home to over 100 prestigious global brands and local favourites, the Westgate is a perfect place to shop ‘till you drop! Before you go, remember to sign up for their PLUS+ scheme. Not only do you get access to exclusive discounts, but you also get their concierge service.

After all that shopping, you’re sure to have worked up an appetite. Thankfully, there are boatloads of restaurants, takeaways and coffee shops to choose from. A fan favourite is the Westgate Social.

Sockets are dotted around to charge your phone, ideal after a long day of shopping. And with the River Rapids stopping right outside the Westgate, it’ll be easy to get yourself home again!

Plan your journey 

Nuneham Courtenay

A pretty village just five miles south of Oxford, Nuneham Courtenay is likely most recognisable for its appearances in the Inspector Morse series, serving as a backdrop for many of Morse and Lewis’ investigations. But there’s far more to the village than grisly murders and stylish Jags. With evidence of Roman settlement and pottery production from as early as 100 AD has a long and layered history, further shaped by important historical figures, home to several notable local landmarks and even inspiring poetry along the way.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the village’s muster of peacocks. An unusual sight in the English countryside, the Nuneham Courtenay birds are considered to be a self-sustaining population, descending from the flock at Harcourt Arboretum and nesting in the town for more than 150 years.

To explore Nuneham Courtenay for yourself, hop off the River Rapids X40 at either Baldon Lane or North End.

Harcourt Arboretum

Explore over 130 acres of rare and endangered trees from across the globe, including some of the oldest redwoods in the UK, at Harcourt Arboretum. Owned by the University of Oxford, the arboretum is a satellite site of the university’s botanical gardens.  

Set within the grounds of Nuneham House, the picturesque landscape is a wildly beautiful woodland paradise, dotted with leaves of all different colours and pretty flowers carpeting the ground.  

In late spring, Darjeeling flowers permeate the air with honey-rose scents, while a range of azaleas, rhododendrons and bluebells create a patchwork quilt of colour in amongst the trees.  

By summertime, bracken provides shelter for the little critters that call the arboretum home, ducking in and out of wildflower meadows and acer glades. Autumn turns the arboretum into a glowing swash of vivid reds and rich golds, leaves gently fluttering to the floor from above as you walk twisting paths of the grounds. Winter is not to be missed, as deer, hares and birds of prey can be seen more clearly, enjoying holly, mistletoe and seasonal blooms.  

No matter the time of year, Harcourt Arboretum is a stunningly beautiful place to visit. The paths have all been updated in the last few years, making them more even and accessible. Kids can play hide and seek amongst the trees, wearing themselves out as they enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.  

For refreshments, Dark Horse Coffee Roastery keep a horsebox onsite, serving up fresh drinks and ethically sourced coffees to enjoy amongst the trees.  

Plan your journey

Dorchester-on-Thames

By getting off the River Rapids at Dorchester Bypass and following a shortish path, you’ll find yourself in Dorchester-on-Thames.  

A charming and historic little village sitting at the confluence of the River Thame and River Thames, Dorchester has been a favourite for pretty walks and lovely views since long before recorded history. And while you won’t find any ancient settlers roaming about these days, Dorchester’s architecture, green spaces and lakes make it absolutely worth a visit on your next River Rapids journey! 

Bishop's Court Farm

Family-friendly, with an ethos of sustainability, Bishop’s Court Farm is home to over 60 alpacas with bags of personality, as well as a host of horses, pigs, goats and sheep waiting for you to come and say hello!  

If Bishop’s Court Farm is known for anything, it’s for their Alpaca Walking. Taken at an “alpaca pace” through the farm's scenic fields, you’ll wander past two pretty lakes and peaceful viewing points as you go. The experience also includes a meet-and-greet with the alpacas, a chance to learn a little more about them, and a bag of feed to keep your charge happy. All in all, the walk takes around an hour and a half, depending on how eager your new furry friend is to get going, and you should remember to bring your wellies as many of the alpacas like to go for a paddle.  

Need some time to sit back, relax and forget about everything for a while? Goatopia at Bishop’s Court Farm offer a unique way to hit the ‘pause’ button. You’ll be welcomed into the paddock for some chill-out time with a few caprine friends where you can enjoy gentle, hands-on time with the farm’s resident goats. Wear something you don’t mind getting nibbled on and let your worries drift away as you play with these cloven-hoofed gurus.

Hungrier than a horse? Trot over to the Snug Cafe. Settled in an old tractor shed, the Snug is a cosy restaurant and farm shop right at the heart of Bishop’s Court Farm. With an ever-changing menu of fresh, seasonal produce, the Snug is ideal for grabbing a quick snack or taking some time over a warm lunch.

Walking in Dorchester

The beauty of Dorchester is that it’s chock-full of different walks, hikes and meanders for you to enjoy when visiting on the River Rapids. A favourite among many is the Dorchester and Wittenham Clumps Circular. A two-and-a-half-hour trek, the steady path takes you past some of the best views, sights and landmarks that Dorchester has to offer. The route winds along the banks of the Thames, before heading up to Round Hill and the Wittenham Clumps. These chalk hills serve up some of the best views of the surrounding countryside, including the river’s sweeping meander and the patchwork quilt of fields across the Thames Valley.  

Along the way, you’ll also come across a commemorative stone for the Poem Tree. Maltster Joseph Tubb carved the poem into the tree in the 1840s, and the site quickly became a marker and attraction in the area. Though the tree fell in 2012, the stone that marks where it once stood contains a rubbing of the original carving and a transcription of the poem for future generations to enjoy.  

Plan your journey 

Wallingford

A small market town in South Oxfordshire, perhaps best known as a well-used filming location for Midsomer Murders and the preserved rural ‘Bunk Line’ railway linking Wallingford with the mainline at Cholsey.

Hop off the X40 at Wallingford Market Place for most attractions. 

Cholsey & Wallingford Railway

Just a 10-minute chug from the X40’s Wallingford Market Place bus stop brings you to the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway. Hop aboard an iconic 1950s coach, hauled by either a Heritage diesel locomotive or visiting steam engine, for a 45-minute round trip between Wallingford and Cholsey.  

See the stunning Oxfordshire countryside as you choo-choo through rolling hills. Along the way, keep an eye out for landmarks, like St Mary’s Church, the resting place of Agatha Christie, and the chalk hills of Wittenham Clumps. Red Kites have been known to tag along, circling above the train, awhile deer can be seen roaming through the local meadows.  

Trains operate on weekends and bank holidays; be sure to book in advance to secure your seat.

Wallingford Museum

Open year-round, history comes to life at the Wallingford Museum! Experience the sights and sounds of the history of Wallingford, spanning from Saxon settlement and Roman occupation to Victorian industry and genre-defining literature.

The museum hosts regular events and exhibitions, so there’s always something new to see when visiting on the River Rapids. Throughout the summer, guided walks take you around key locations in Wallingford, with your friendly hosts teaching visitors all about the rich history and importance of the area.

The museum itself is housed just 4 minutes from the River Rapids’ bus stop in an oak-beamed medieval house. Filled with ancient artefacts and faithful recreations, pop in on your next journey by bus to learn all about Wallingford.

Plan your journey

Wallingford Castle and Gardens

A short stroll from the museum are the ruins of a medieval castle. Built on the direct orders of William the Conqueror in 1067. The likely architect was Robert D’Oyly, the same man who built Oxford Castle, from which Empress Matilda escaped to Wallingford in 1141. From royal residents and wars of succession to notorious prisons and escaping felons, the historical significance of Wallingford Castle cannot be understated.

The attractive Wallingford Castle grounds are free of charge to the public and contain the best-preserved sections of the castle. If you climb to the top, you will glimpse views of the Thames. The adjacent castle meadows are also home to some diverse natural habitats, and in Spring, an early display of snowdrops around the site of a former Victorian grotto is gradually replaced by a sweeping carpet of bluebells.

Wallingford Museum offer a self-guided tour of the grounds to help you make the most of your visit; just play the appropriate video at each stop to learn more!

Plan your journey 

Corn Exchange

Well worth a peek, even if you’re just strolling past, is the Grade II listed Corn Exchange. Home to the town’s theatre and cinema, this storied venue was famously championed by Agatha Christie, a patron of the Sinodun Players and regular visitor.

Today, this small but impressive venue serves up a mix of theatre, art, live music and film in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The Exchange Foyer bar serves up evening drinks, as well as coffee and homemade cakes on select mornings.

Why not catch the River Rapids NX40 for a late-night screening or evening show? With late-night services, its easier than ever for culture lovers to catch performances and films at the Corn Exchange’s historic venue.

To take the trail, either download the map or visit the Visitor Information Centre to pick up a copy.

Both the Town Hall and Corn Exchange feature significantly throughout the series, used as the backdrop for slice-of-life scenes and conversations amongst the main cast.

Other options in Wallingford

In addition to guided routes, there’s plenty to explore on foot in Wallingford. Take a meander along the river, explore the ruins and go for a jaunt through charming old streets. If you’re after something with a bit more structure, the Visitor Information Centre keeps a stock of loads of different walks, paths and routes for you to follow, as well as some recommendations of personal favourites.

If your legs are getting tired after all that walking, why not stop to enjoy a meal in a local pub by the river? The Boathouse is a Greene King pub, serving up consistently tasty food and well-kept drinks, all on a riverside terrace. If the weather’s not in your favour, then there’s plenty of seating inside, as well as a conservatory so you can still enjoy the views.

Right outside the pub, you can also hire a boat with Pure Boating. Perfect for a sunny day, canopied boats are available for you to take up and down the river at your leisure. All the boats are fully electric and self-driven, letting you explore the river at your own pace and see the town from a whole new angle.

Plan your journey 

Caversham

A suburb of Reading, the first descriptions of Caversham came from the Doomsday Book in 1086. Today, it’s voted as one of the best places to live in Berkshire and it's easy to see why. Caversham is full of pretty green streets, court gardens and a huge variety of local shops and cafes for visitors to explore when travelling on the River Rapids.

To see Caversham, hop off the River Rapids at St Peters Avenue or Caversham Library

Caversham Court Gardens

A walled garden with sweeping terraced lawns leading down to the banks of the River Thames, Caversham Court Gardens is always a worthwhile visit on the River Rapids route. Ancient yews tower above manicured lawns and flower beds, carefully planted to look their best throughout the year. In the summer, look out for the lavender bank which comes to life in a pattern of purples, yellows and creams. Picnics are welcome, great to enjoy on the riverbank as you watch local swans glide past.

Throughout the spring and summer, the Tea Kiosk serves hot drinks and homemade cakes, all run by local charities. The gardens are cared for by volunteers, who are more than happy to give guided tours for those wanting to learn a little more about the history, flora and fauna of the gardens; just drop them a message before you go to organise it.

Reading

Once known for beer, biscuits and bulbs during the Industrial Revolution, Reading has grown into one of the largest towns in England and the county town of Berkshire. Sitting at the confluence of the River Kennet and the Thames, Reading has evolved into a buzzy mix of food, drink, art and culture, packed with popular chains and quirky independents, serving up street foods, global eats and great shopping.  

To explore Reading on your River Rapids journey, hop off at Central Reading or Reading Town Centre

Reading Museum

Inside the beautiful Victorian Town Hall in the centre of Reading, you’ll find Reading Museum. Including exhibits such as a faithful recreation of the Bayeux Tapestry, huge Roman mosaics and natural history specimens, the museum is certain to have something to appeal to the whole family. The museum offers free trails for kids to explore the collections in a fun way, joining Bertie the Badger on her quest to find her friends, hidden within the galleries.

The Green Space gallery is a firm favourite amongst visitors, with over 200,000 biological and geological specimens telling the story of the biodiversity of Reading and how it has changed over time. Recreations of the waterways, fossils found in the local landscape, traces of Stone Age living and more are all set out for visitors to see, experience and touch, giving you a new appreciation for the world around you. A highlight of this collection is the impressive red stag, presented by King George V from Windsor Great Park in 1911 and an Iron Age dog, found at a hillfort on the Berkshire Downs.

Getting nibbly? The Pantry Café & Kitchen serves up a delicious selection of fresh snacks and light lunches sure to tickle your taste buds. No museum visit is complete without a visit to the gift shop, so remember to pick up a pressie for yourself before hopping back on the River Rapids home.

Plan your journey 

Reading Abbey Quarter

Once one of Europe’s largest royal monasteries, Reading Abbey Quarter is a must-see history buffs. You can learn all about the Norman Conquest and its connections to the abbey at Reading Museum before heading over to discover the ancient walls for yourself. Here, you’ll also find the burial place of William the Conqueror's youngest son, King Henry I, who gave generously to Reading Abbey as it was part of the Cluniac monastic order, which he vehemently supported.

Today, the abbey lies in ruins but proves to be a peaceful stroll in the heart of a bustling town centre. The museum offers regular tours of the ruins on a Saturday, perfect for those who are ready to absorb even more knowledge. The Abbey Gateway still stands, after being virtually rebuilt after a storm in 1861. Once the abbot’s house, the gateway was turned into a palace by Queen Elizabeth I, before being transformed into housing and Reading Ladies Boarding School, where novelist Jane Austin was a student.

The Abbey Quarter may be a ruin, but it is steeped in British history and reflects almost every period of change since the Norman Conquest. Whether you’re a budding historian or simply after a quiet walk, the abbey is well worth stopping by.

Plan your journey 

The Oracle

Named after the 17th-century workhouse that once stood on the site, The Oracle is Reading’s headline act when it comes to shopping. With over 100 shops, restaurants and bars to choose from, you can shop ‘til you drop, and if you’re feeling flush, treat yourself to a little something extra on the way. Tastefully modern, the shopping centre is open-air with wide, clean spaces for you to enjoy. Keystone stores include an absolutely massive TK Maxx, filled with home and clothing bargains (plus that slightly odd food aisle that you either swear by or avoid), and a Zara to keep up with all of the latest trends.

Worked up an appetite? At the Oracle you’ll find a mix of everything from Argentine steakhouses and authentic Japanese ramen to artisan coffee houses and delicious sweet treats. Many of the shopping centre’s restaurants are on the Riverside Level, where you can enjoy dinner or drinks on the banks of the River Kennet. The Riverside Level is a trendy area, decorated with blooming flowers and dotted with things to do, places to see and areas to hang out with friends and family. At Christmas, the area is transformed into a wonderland, with bright lights and seasonal décor, making for a wonderful holiday stroll.

Reading Festival

You can’t talk about Reading without mentioning Reading Festival. Since 1971, this annual summer weekender has taken the town by storm, serving up an annual summer fun, music and memories. Here, visitors will get the chance to see some of the world's top stars performing hit tracks for you to sing along to at the top of your lungs. Favourites like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Metallica and more have all headlined here, marking it as one of the UK’s top festivals.

The River Rapids bus stops right outside of the festival grounds at The Moderation, though this is subject to change during the festival itself, so it’s worth checking before you go. 

Rivermead Park

Right next to the festival park, Rivermead Park often becomes an unofficial extension of the festival, but for the rest of the year it’s a tranquil green escape by the river, where you can walk in the footsteps of your favourite artists. Why not pop on your headphones and take some time to enjoy a picnic here while listening to your favourite songs on the river, before heading back into town.
