Norwich Canoe Hire

Norwich has had the River Wensum running through it's heart ever since the city was founded over 1000 years ago.

From the pontoon base TheCanoeMan will offer Canoe hire by the half day & day as well as guided canoe trips - where a professional guide will teach you to paddle and take you on an historical journey of exploration through the back waters of Norwich. In addition to this there will also soon be small (4 person) Aluminium Motorboats for hire for those who would rather not have to 'paddle their own canoe'

Norwich has a wealth of history much of which can be seen from the river, such as the famous Pull's Ferry. Paddle your canoe at your own pace and go on a journey of discovery along the River Wensum past Cow Tower to Fye Bridge. The bridge here is thought to be the oldest river crossing in Norwich. The trip through the heart of Old Norwich will take you under bridges dating back to 1342.

Approximately an hour and a half down stream will get you to Thorpe Green and the River Garden pub an ideal place to stop for lunch or a quick 'lemonade'!
