Self-guided 2 day / 1 night Canoe Camping Expeditions on the tranquil and scenic River Stour which weaves its way through the Dedham Vale & Stour Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - enjoy the landscapes that inspired some of the nations best known artists incl. Turner, Constable and Gainsborough.
These self-guided, one-way expeditions down the River Stour offer a rare opportunity to paddle through some of the finest countryside in England: you'll experience blissful tranquility, humbling landscapes and a 'Swallows & Amazons' buzz and you paddle downstream through beauty spots incl. Little Henny, Wiston, Bures, Nayland, Dedham, Flatford and finally through RSPBs spectacular 'Cattawade Marshes Nature Reserve'.
On the river you'll find solitude and calm, hours can pass where you won't see a soul except for the local wildlife (Kingfisher, Otter, Marsh Harriers, Heron, Egyptian Geese, Black Swans, to name just few of the rarer species spotted by customers on this trip). Off the river, if you choose to moor-up and explore you'll find pretty Suffolk villages, local pubs, and amazing places to visit: try Bures, Nayland, Dedham, and Flatford Mill.
Day 1: Sudbury to Campsite:
Either meet us at the Hire Centre in Sudbury for 10am or we'll pick you up from the campsite, where you can leave your car and overnight gear, at 09:30hrs. This 11 mile / 6 hour paddle takes you through Dawes Nature Reserve, Henny, Lamarsh, Bures and Wissington and right up to your riverside campsite; light your fires and settle in for cozy night under canvass.
Day 2: Campsite - Cattawade:
With 13 miles / 7 hours of paddling ahead of you, most customers aim to be on the water for 10am. This stretch of river weaves its way through 'Constable Country' taking you to Nayland, Stratford St Mary, Dedham and finally Cattawade Marshes (RSPB's nature reserve). We'll meet you at Cattawade Picnic Site and whizz you back to either Manningtree Train Stn (London in 60mins), Sudbury or the Campsite.
