Description

The definitive guide to exploring the South of England under paddle power, from the rugged beauty of Cornwall's wild coastline to the tranquil waters of Surrey and Sussex.

The South of England offers fantastic opportunities for paddleboarders, canoeists and kayakers, from the picturesque River Stour running through Canterbury to the stunning coves surrounding Combe Martin Bay in North Devon. Written by highly experienced paddleboarder Sarah Lewis, this guide covers 42 routes including:

- Lulworth Cove to Durdle Door – glide along the Jurassic Coast and beneath the striking limestone arch
- Porthcurno – explore crystal-clear turquoise waters and white beaches, while gazing up at the Minack Theatre
- Avon River, Bath – take a step back in time as you admire the stone city of Bath and the stunning Pulteney Bridge on your board before taking a dip in the warm waters
- Freshwater Bay – discover sea caves, mermaid pools and sheltered beaches on the Isle of Wight

From short paddles to day trips and multi-day expeditions, this guide includes excursions for all levels of paddling abilities, and advice on safe, responsible paddling. With beautiful photography and clear maps, each route details the launching points, directions to paddle, places to stop, and sights and wildlife to watch out for. The essential companion for anyone keen to explore southern England from the water.
