Embark on an Epic Five-Day Canoeing Expedition Along the River Wye


Experience the River Wye at its finest on an unforgettable five-day canoeing adventure through some of the United Kingdom's most spectacular countryside. Beginning in the picturesque village of Glasbury, the journey follows the river through the renowned town of Hay-on-Wye before winding into the peaceful landscapes of Herefordshire. Gentle currents, charming riverside scenery, and relaxing lunch stops make the opening day the perfect introduction to an expedition that blends adventure with the tranquility of nature. The first evening concludes at Whitney-on-Wye, where the welcoming atmosphere of The Boat Inn offers an ideal place to unwind beside the river.


The second day carries you deeper into the heart of the Wye Valley, where rolling countryside, flourishing orchards, and quiet riverside villages create an unforgettable paddling experience. Passing the picturesque village of Bredwardine, known for its peaceful swimming spot, you'll continue downstream to the scenic Byecross Farm Campsite at Preston-on-Wye. Surrounded by nature, this overnight stop provides the perfect opportunity to relax and prepare for the next stage of the journey.


As the adventure continues, the river leads to the historic city of Hereford before flowing through beautiful rural landscapes toward Hoarwithy. Slower stretches of water offer time to appreciate the abundant wildlife and panoramic views, while the route passes the traditional orchards of Holme Lacey, an area celebrated for its cider apples and perry pears. Overnight stays at Hereford Rowing Club and Tresseck Campsite ensure a comfortable pace, allowing participants to fully enjoy each day's unique scenery.


The final day follows one of the River Wye's most picturesque sections, with a peaceful ten-mile paddle to the charming market town of Ross-on-Wye. After arriving at The Hope & Anchor, convenient return transportation to Glasbury completes the journey. Combining scenic paddling, historic towns, welcoming campsites, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Wye Valley, this five-day expedition offers an exceptional outdoor adventure filled with unforgettable moments and lasting memories.

Outstanding experience, staff is remarkable, in particular Santa himself is just incredible, and a young lady who was an elf in santas house was absolutely brilliant and so accommodating, she even delivered personal message to santa to pass it on to my daughter, this really made the experience unforgettable. Thats our 4th time and we will certainly come back. Thank you very much once again.

The pricing is getting out of hand. It’s already high enough to pay for a pitch but then pretty much everything is extra. The outdoor mini golf is now either gone or under construction, the new indoor mini golf is madness at €36 for a family of four for a little over half an hour. Staff really lacked enthusiasm this time. We have been three times and sorry to say it will be the last. I am aware the cost of everything has increased but some of the activities are kinda crazy really for what you get out of them. I love the concept of it but it’s just too much. We had family down with us last time and they stayed in the lodges. I mean there isn’t even bedding or anything at all supplied in something that’s not far off the price of a hotel room. This is definitely an alternative to camping anyway. Disappointed with it really.

An amazing campsite, pitches are excellent, hard standing and grass for caravan and awning. All pitches have EHU and water services. Great amenities, loads for the kids to do, very well kept and clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay there. Would definitely recommend.
