About

Experience the magical time of day when the river calms and nature begins to recapture the river.  

We will set off from town centre and watch the transition from Urban to country. We will stop and capture photograph opportunities in Allington and at the lock.  We will then turn and make our way back up to East Farleigh before returning to the lights of archbishops and the town centre.

We will have soft drinks aboard as well as snacks. If you wish to bring your own beverages please contact us.

This is a a very relaxing experience that can be enjoyed with family and friends or as a relaxing team bonding experience for work colleagues or associations.

You will need to bring warm clothing.
