Perfect for Paddling
Canoeists and paddleboarders can drop in at any point along the Chelmer & Blackwater navigation, except next to locks and bridges. Licences for the Navigation need to be obtained from Essex Waterways.
Licences cost £5 for a single day, and there are generous discounts for weekly, monthly and annual periods, and further discounts for multiple non powered craft registering together.
You can now hire a Canadian Canoe or a single or double kayak, from our office at Paper Mill, and (coming soon) from Daisy Meadow kiosk at Heybridge Basin.
