Dotted with idyllic islands, picturesque villages and beautiful coastline, the East of England boasts a multitude of options for paddlers – if you know where to look. From the spectacular Norfolk Broads to beautiful Mersea Island and the tranquil River Cam, Paddle the East of England is the complete guide to the best paddles along the rivers, inshore waters and estuaries of these varied landscapes.
Written by the team who run East of England Paddlesports (the UK’s largest paddlesports group to be affiliated to Paddle UK), this guide covers all regions of the East of England:
- Essex, including Blackwater, Two Tree Island, Southend Pier, Osea Island, Mersea and Maldon
- Suffolk, including Pin Mill, Shingle Street and Sudbury
- Norfolk, including the Dilham Canal, Rockland Broad, Buxton Mill, and Brancaster Staithe
- Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, including the River Cam, Grantchester Meadows, River Ouse, Bishops Stortford and River Lee Navigations
From short paddles to longer expeditions, this book includes excursions for all levels of ability, with most well suited to canoe, kayak and paddleboard. Responsible paddling is covered thoroughly, with a guide to safety equipment and how to use it properly, staying environmentally aware, and advice on licensing. Each chapter details the best places to stop, and the wildlife to look out for along the way.
With beautiful photography, and clear maps containing directions to paddle and launching points, this is the essential guide to making the very most of exploring the East of England under paddle power.
