We hire sturdy sit on top kayaks on the stretch of canal outside of the Hopwood pub. An ideal experience for beginners, families or anyone looking to combine kayaking with a trip to the pub afterwards.
You will enjoy a 90 minute kayaking session along the canal towards Alvechurch where you will then turn around and head back to the meeting point.
MEET POINT
Parking: Main car park and use the footpaths to access the canal
Children aged between 5-9 need to be in a 2 or 3 seater kayak with an adult (age 18+). Children aged 10+ can be in a solo or 2 x seater kayak without an adult as long as an adult is accompanying them on the canal in a separate kayak.
Kayak hire time:
Kayak hire on the canal is for 90 minutes which allows you plenty of time to explore the 3 mile return stretch of the canal to the motorway bridge (turn around point). We recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment on the day.
