🌿🌊 Looking for the perfect Wednesday day trip? Let’s talk about the Houghton Mill Tour… 👇

If your midweek routine needs a little magic, it’s time to step away from the desk and onto the water. Every single Wednesday, the St Ives Electric Riverboat Co. takes you on a stunning, peaceful cruise down the River Great Ouse, culminating in a visit to the historic, National Trust-managed Houghton Mill.

It is the ultimate mix of relaxation, heritage, and stunning Cambridgeshire scenery!

🚤 Here is what your Wednesday look like:

Set Sail from St Ives: Climb aboard our ultra-quiet, fully electric, eco-friendly passenger boats. Because they glide silently, you get front-row seats to the local wildlife without disturbing nature.

The Scenic Route: Drift past beautiful open meadows, under historic bridges, and through the quiet backwater channels that larger boats simply can’t reach.

Explore Houghton Mill: Step off the deck to tour the magnificent 18th-century watermill, wander the idyllic surrounding area, or enjoy a coffee by the river before the tranquil boat journey back.

📅 When: Every Wednesday
⏰ Times: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
