Overview

A unique travel guide celebrating traditional British pubs - this book will take you to all the best watering holes you can reach by paddleboard, kayak or canoe. Hiking and cycling to pubs are already popular pastimes, but the best way to reach those pubs beside rivers, lakes, canals and the coast is to paddle there by kayak, canoe or paddleboard. This lively and fun guide covers the best of British. Plenty of paddle routes are featured from all over the UK, usually with more than one pub to choose from. Cruise down the Wester Ross shore of Scotland, with mountains on one side, the Isle of Skye on the other, and a refreshing pint waiting for you at the end. Paddle through a reclaimed industrial cityscape from Hackney Wick and stop for one of the capital’s best canalside cocktails. Or drift around the ribbon-like bends of the Cuckmere meanders of the South Downs and finish with a crisp white wine. Routes of varying lengths and difficulty through different types of scenery are included, along with detailed practical information: when to go, where to hire a canoe/kayak/paddleboard, parking, where to camp for longer trips, things to spot along the way, and much more. Packed with helpful maps and gorgeous photography, this inspiring travel guide to the best of British pubs will ensure you have plenty of good beer and great food for every pub paddle.
