Overview

The annual census of the swan population living on the River Thames will pass through Boveney Lock on Tuesday 16th July at approximately 9:15. The Swan Uppers check the cygnets and swans as they travel up river from Sunbury lock to Abingdon. The walk will take us to Boveney Lock and afterwards a short circular walk across Dorney Common to the Jubilee River back to Eton Wick.
