Just imagine what it would be like: drifting down the river, with the prospect of a pub lunch along the way. You are with your family or friends, enjoying some of the country’s best countryside, and can’t decide whether to have the home made steak pie or cheddar ploughmans!

We canoed with Hereford Canoe Hire from Lucksall near Fownhope to Hoarwithy. It is a trip of about two and a half hours duration - just perfect. It was a gorgeous day and we saw so much wildlife on the river - including swans, herons, and even a couple of kingfishers. A really wonderful time

We've just returned from a three day trip and can't recommend you highly enough! Your staff are professional, knowledgeable and really looked after us. We had an excellent briefing, good kit and amazing scenery. We will definitely be coming back to you next year. Thanks.

Jo Perry

We really enjoyed our trip down to Hoarwithy. It was a great afternoon on the river, especially our stop off for a quick paddle and a picnic. This was made all the better by the staff being very helpful cheerful and friendly. We can definately recommend this place, and will be sure to come back

We did the trip from Lucksall to Ross On Wye. Brilliant two days in glorious June sunshine-stunning River. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, arranging drop-offs and pick-ups. Would thoroughly recommend Hereford Canoe Hire. Be warned the second day stretch (Hoarwithy to Ross) is a long 11 miles, especially if the river is running

Ash Ghai

Many thanks, we had a lovely day paddling from Lucksall to Ross. Stopped at Mordiford for lunch at the pub, by which time the sun was shining. A lovely way to get back to nature and see the wildlife at its best. Highly recommended!

We occupy one of the quietest and safest stretches of the Wye and work hard to keep it that way, so our clients enjoy a safe and relaxing adventure.

This means that we choose not to deal with stag parties (sorry boys) and those who can spoil the enjoyment of other river users. Our stretch of the Wye is ideal for both the novice and family, or anyone who wants to be absorbed in this beautiful, quiet stretch of countryside. You can hire a canoe for any period from 2 hours to 5 days, so you paddle away at your own pace. We’re delighted to advise on routes and stopping places along the way where you can be fed and watered.

We provide a high level of service from the moment we meet and brief you, to the moment we pick you up. The team at Hereford Canoe Hire are enthusiasts about making a great day out for you. We’ve got great canoes and safety equipment and are keen for you to share our enjoyment of this wonderful river.
