Messing about on the River....Gorgeous Campsites with canoe hire
If, like Moley, Ratty and Badger you love nothing more than gadding about in and around the river, then read on. With tranquil waters lapping the banks, weeping willows trailing their branches into the water, dragonflies swooping over the waterlilies, and miles and miles of meandering gentle pathways, pottering along a river can be one of the most beautiful, peaceful and low impact ways of exploring the countryside. Through farmland, woodland, dense forests and coastal routes leading to the sea, British rivers provide a wonderfully inspirational journey across some of the most beautiful landscapes....and canoeing these rivers is one of the best ways to explore them. Pack a picnic, grab an oar and push-off downstream. Here are some wonderful campsites where you can stay for a few days, hire a canoe (or bring your own) and set off right from your tent. Some even pack you off with a river map and top tips for the best riverside pub on route too. So what are you waiting for? Relax, unwind and potter off downriver for a camping trip with a bit of extra adventure....
