Located on the upper section of the navigable River Stour, gently meander through the idyllic and beautiful flat lands of the Stour Valley. Paddle upriver, towards Sudbury, and enjoy an abundance of wildlife, such as cattle grazing on the beautiful water meadows. Paddle downriver, towards Bures, and reconnect with nature on the quieter, less-travelled and more tranquil stretches of the river. Our stable and stylish single-person and tandem (two-person) ‘sit-on-top’ WaveSport kayaks come with a backrest for comfort and support. Regardless of your chosen craft, you will be provided with everything you need for your adventure, including paddle(s), buoyancy aid(s), and a navigation map.
Located at The Henny Swan, a highly-revered, perfectly-situated and inviting pub and restaurant in Great Henny, a short drive from Sudbury, Suffolk.
