The Paddle Centre

My friend, husband and I had a great time paddleboarding out on the river. We had a brief safety talk which made us feel confident out on the river, and were set up quickly with our equipment. There were good facilities there - toilets, changing room, refreshments etc. We'll be sure to visit again.

We had a really great experience at the Paddle Centre. Friendly and helpful staff, we got shoes to wear on the SUP boards, the toilets were clean and there was a hose to rinse our feet when we had finished. It could have been a bit more obvious where to enter from the road. Our trip on the river was lovely. 😊

Staff were very welcoming, water etiquette instructions & the laminated map in the kayak were very helpful to use & it was a very short distance to lift the kayaks up & down the slipway. We were lucky with lovely weather & a quiet waterway so, it was very peaceful.
