2011 Season
A Paddle into the
Past with Dr Nigel Baker
A
fascinating journey by canoe and bellboat around Following a very successful and popular series of talks over last few years, we have asked Nigel to return once again, so come and join us for Paddle into the Past!
Dr Nigel Baker is a professional archaeologist who has worked on Shrewsbury for many years; he is the author of a number of books on the town. Living in the Shropshire countryside close to the Severn, he began kayaking only to find the river rich in undiscovered archaeology.
The tour will explore the archaeology of the Severn loop around Shrewsbury, looking at the town’s medieval defences and castle, lost streams, ancient fords and bridges, historic wharfs, Victorian health hazards and much more.
No
previous paddling experience is required. The tours are part of
Shrewsbury Summer Season
and are offered on the following dates:
Participants should be aware that although we start at Frankwell the finish point is at Shrewsbury Weir.
