Dorney Lake Visitor Moorings 
Address is taken from a point 429 yards away.
Dorney Lake Visitor Moorings is on the River Thames (below Oxford).
The River Thames (below Oxford) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Lee and Stort Navigation at Cambridge the canal ran for 17 miles to Portsmouth. Expectations for coal traffic to Rochester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Thames (below Oxford) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Bassetlaw kept it open. The River Thames (below Oxford) was closed in 1888 when Perth Embankment collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Wood made a model of Nuneaton Inclined plane out of matchsticks live on television.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available.

![Galletted pointing on the west wall of St Mary Magdalene, Boveney. The church [[2496185]] is particularly noted for its galletting, which is the practice of embedding slivers of flint into the mortared joints. This very decorative building technique has the main purpose of reducing the amount of mortar used. It also reduces the amount of shrinking that occurs. by Rod Allday – 20 June 2011](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/49/61/2496189_3b4a1b1b_120x120.jpg)

![Friends of Friendless Churches. St Mary Magdalene Boveney, nestling on the banks of the Thames, almost within sight of Eton College but a world away in a small remote hamlet, was saved by the Friends in June 1983.St Mary's Boveney, nestling on the banks of the Thames, almost within sight of Eton College but a world away in a small remote hamlet, was saved by the Friends of Friendless Churches in June 1983. The building is listed Grade I despite its low-key exterior. What tips it into that highest of all listing categories is the remarkable vernacular interior with 18th and 19th Century fittings, its romantic location adjacent to the Thames and its very early origins in the 12th Century. The church was built to serve the bargemen or bargees as they were called who plied their trade on the river, although the quay immediately adjacent is long lost. Outside you will notice the little slivers of flint pressed into the mortar coursing lines - this is a partly decorative, partly functional technique known as galletting.
