A unique travel guide detailing 50 of the best places, routes and adventures to embark upon under paddle power.

See the wilderness from the water, discover ancient sites hidden from paths and roads, or stay at remote wild campsites only accessible by river. Suitable for relative newcomers, but with some more ambitious and demanding routes, adventures include:

- Get back to nature on the River Great Ouse – paddle from Bedford’s Victorian embankment out into the wilderness and wild-camp in the middle of nowhere for an awe-inspiring night under the stars
- Follow the Whisky Trail – paddle down the River Spey as it winds its way out of the Cairngorms, through the Washing Machine white waters and the Knockando rapids
- Travel back in time on the River Stour – explore beautiful Constable Country, largely unchanged for centuries
- Leave the shore behind – for the more adventurous paddlers, sea kayaking opens up the entire coastline and Britain's 6,000 islands

Each location, route and activity is graded by difficulty, and all the essential information is included, such as the best locations to access the water, stopping points, things to see or do, and places to stay. Packed with gorgeous photography taken throughout the year, and as inspiring as it is practical, this is a travel guide like no other.

Richard Harpham is the founder of CanoeTrail, whose paddlesport holidays have been voted one of the top 50 things to do by Lonely Planet. He has written for many magazines, including Adventure Travel, Paddler and National Geographic Kids. A Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, he is a regular speaker at events and shows, and has hosted the Great Outdoors Stage at the BBC's Countryfile Live festival.
