Canoe & Kayak Hire Planning & Resources Prices

We hire canoes and kayaks for use on the River Severn.
Why not organise your own trip on the River?

The Severn is Britain’s longest river covering around 220 miles from its source high in the Cambrian Mountains to eventually emptying into the sea in the Bristol Channel.

With around 130 miles of almost hazard free river the Severn is ideal for journeying and makes a trip of several days combined with camping, or where possible, bed and breakfast. Of course you don’t have to do a long journey to enjoy the Severn, you can hire a kayak or canoe for a few hours, here are a few suggestions.

Half day 3-6+ miles
A favourite is to start just above Shrewsbury Weir and paddle up river around the town for a picnic before paddling back to the Weir.

Full day 14 miles.
Montford Bridge to Shrewsbury Weir, peace and tranquillity & stunning scenery, stop along the way for a picnic lunch.

2/3 days 36 miles
Pool Quay to Shrewsbury, enjoy the twists & turns of the upper reaches, paddling through the continuously changing scenery. Spend the night camping at a choice of campsites along the way.

We can help you to plan your trip by suggesting itineraries, meeting you at the start of your trip with the equipment and then collecting it from you at the end.

Our boats are normally available for journeying between Pool Quay near Welshpool and Dale End in Ironbridge. For areas beyond these points hire is by special arrangement only.
