You can book online through our website. Just pick your trip, date and time, and follow the steps. You can move your trip to another day as many times as you need. If the weather’s bad, we’ll help you pick a new date. If you need to cancel, we’ll give you a full refund minus a small 3% booking fee (this just goes to the payment provider, not us).

We run trips from April to September, weather permitting. The busiest days are weekends, but we’re open most days during the season.

No experience is needed for most trips! We’ll give you a quick lesson on the bank before you start, showing you how to paddle and stay safe, so you’ll feel ready and confident on the water. For our longer river trips, it helps if you have a bit of paddling experience.

Absolutely! We offer trips of different lengths and difficulty levels to suit everyone. The Attingham Park Canoe Trail is family friendly and suitable for children aged 4 and up – children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult in the same canoe, over 14s must have an adult on the water in another canoe, and over 16s can paddle alone once an adult confirms their competence during the safety briefing.

Dogs are welcome too! Most are happy to sit comfortably in the bottom of the canoe.

They hold more weight than you think! Each canoe holds up to 3 adults and all gear. They’re strong, stable, and easy to paddle.

It’s very unlikely! Canoes are stable, and our staff support everyone in and out. Everyone wears a buoyancy aid and we provide safety tips so you can enjoy the water safely. Our canoes are designed to make it simple.

Absolutely! Everything’s included: canoes, paddles, buoyancy aids, and a full safety briefing. Your trip is self-guided, with on-water support available if you need help, and optional pre-hire paddle instruction if you want extra confidence. Trips range from 1 to 6 hours and include return transport for the longer A to B river trips. Enjoy wildlife, beautiful scenery, and total flexibility with fee-free re-bookings if your plans change or it’s raining on your booked day.

A bit of rain doesn’t stop the fun, our trips go ahead unless it’s very bad weather. If the trip has to be cancelled, we’ll offer a new date or a full refund.
