Our most popular trip from Bridgnorth to Arley is a 10.5 mile paddle downstream. The group assembles at Severn Park, Bridgnorth at 10.00 am where we will meet you with the canoes.

After a briefing about canoeing techniques and safety issues you start with a six mile paddle to Hampton Loade. At this point there is a stop for about an hour for lunch, (most people bring a pic nic. There is a pub at Arley at the end of the canoe trip if you wanted a pub lunch before the train return). In the afternoon you continue downstream to Arley. This is about 4.5 miles.

From there your return journey is on the Severn Valley Steam Railway, which delivers you back to the train station at Bridgnorth. This is a 10 minute stroll from your start point. You usually get back to your car at approx 5pm.
