Mapledurham Visits and Tours

Over the years we have welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors to Mapledurham to view House itself, discover the old watermill and relax along the banks of the Thames for a picnic or enjoy an delicious cream tea.

Annual Opening

The house and watermill are open to the general public (including groups) on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from Easter to the end of Septermber.

Mid-week party visits

We also open the house for midweek party visits for groups of 40 or more. Many of our guests choose to arrive by boat from nearby Caversham- something we organise for them. Most guests leave Caversham at 2p.m. and arrive here at 2:45p.m. They then have a guided tour of the House and Watermill and many choose to end their afternoon with a cream tea or an afternoon tea. The scones that form part of our cream tea are made from flour actually milled in the Watermill!
