Planning some canoeing during your UK holiday? No matter your age or experience, Britain has some fantastic waterways that beckon to be explored by boat, many of which are located near our growing collection of luxury holiday cottages. And like a canoe, our holiday homes can seat two, four and more. Â
In Wales, combine fun on the beach with some backcountry canoeing in Pembrokeshire while in Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons, find lakes and rivers nestled in the valleys for gentle paddles among epic scenery. Over the border in Herefordshire, drift through the Wye Valley AONB by green pastures flopping over the river banks and pubs tempting you in with craft cider. Â
Alternatively, look to the Lake District’s sparkling oases and see parts of the region you might miss on foot. Lakes Windermere and Derwentwater, and Fell Foot are among the best places to hire a canoe.Â
