River Stour
Boating, based on the River Stour in the Suffolk
village of Bures St Mary provide a variety of small craft services
on the river including two day guided trips by Canadian canoe along
the navigable length of the river from Sudbury in Suffolk to Cattawade
near Manningtree on the Essex coast.

|
The journey
of some 25 miles meanders through some of the most beautiful
and famous Suffolk scenery including Stratford St Mary and
Dedham in Constable country.
There is
much to see on the quiet stretches of river including Heron,
Kingfisher, Coot, Swans and many varieties of Duck. The fields
along the route in most cases are not accessible to the public
and apart from the occasional fisherman, the journey along
the river by canoe is peaceful and tranquil.

and clubs. A maximum of eight people per trip. Special rates for
group bookings.
CAUTION: To enjoy these trips you must be reasonably fit to paddle the distance
and to be able to lift a canoe, with assistance out of the water
to portage around the many weirs on route.
