Canoeing is a good way to view the abundant wildlife on the River Till, and great fun too. At Ford & Etal we welcome responsible access to the river, which is enjoyed by many people – whether they’re taking a gentle riverside stroll, otter-watching or trying their hand at fishing. You can book canoeing trips and coaching via Active4Seasons, see further details below.

If you would like to bring your own canoe please find guidance here.

Wherever possible, and particularly when bringing groups to the river, you should contact us in advance, advising of your intention to canoe and giving us your contact details.
