Water Experience Days: Enjoy a serene paddle down the River Stort in Essex, with this
half day guided canoe tour.
This is suitable for people who have
some canoeing experience (basic paddling skills are fine!), and
makes for a fantastic day out and a great way to see the beautiful
Essex countryside.
Along with a dedicate tour guide, you and your
group will canoe gently downriver at a leisurely pace, taking in
the picturesque panorama as you paddle!
On the day of your Essex canoe tour, you'll meet with your group
and guide and begin with a safety briefing and an introduction to
the day.
You'll be provided with life jackets, and then head for
the canoes to begin your half day canoe tour.
Beginning at either
Bishops Stortford (paddling to Sawbridgeworth) or at Sawbridgeworth
(and paddling on to Harlow Mill ), you will paddle downriver,
passing through some beautiful protected wildlife reserves and
tranquil countryside.
You will have the opportunity to stop along
the way; there are some charming little spots where you can grab a
bite to eat or a drink.
There are plenty of photo opportunities
throghout the trip, but if you do bring a camera, it may be wise to
keep it safe in a dry bag, just in case.
At the end of your Essex canoeing experience you will be picked up
and driven the 5 miles (approximately) back to your car.
