Canoeing in the Wye Valley is one of the best public recreational activities in England. There's nothing better than a sunny day spent on the river! Overcoming the rapids, you can observe the nature of the region and enjoy the beautiful river.

Canoeing or kayaking on the River Wye is especially nice in spring when water levels are at their highest. Your team will be accompanied by experienced instructors who are familiar with the area and know all the charms of the river. Canoeing on the River Wye is suitable for both beginners and professionals.

The Wye Valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty located along the border between England and Wales. The river stretches for 133 miles (215 km), starting at the Welsh Cambrian Mountains and flowing to the Severn Estuary, near Bristol. The river passes such towns as Hay-on-Wye, Hereford, Ross-on-Wye, Symonds Yat, Tintern, and Monmouth. The Canoe Hire Centre in Symonds Yat West is a perfect location to begin your acquaintance with the Wye Valley.

The River Wye eventually flows into the River Severn, which is also suitable for canoeing. You can rent a canoe in Severn Park in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, and float to Arley. Also, you can try paddling in Cornwall. The Looe River and Fowey River have plenty of canoe clubs and rentals.
