This tour takes in THE most iconic stretch of the River Wye, you’ll paddle past ancient limestone cliffs that were once home to a medieval Iron Age fort, underneath Peregrine falcon nests and 17th century stone bridges and past the stunning Goodrich Castle. You’ll even cruise past the beach featured in Harry Potter – The Deathly Hallows, and if time we’ll make a detour to peer up at the pretty Norwegian house featured in ‘Sex Education’.
This stretch of the river is teeming with wildlife. Signets and goslings happily share the water with us in spring, while kingfisher and sand martins flit past us during the summer.
