Summer is truly here and if you are a kayaker, SUP/paddle boarder or a wild swimmer, within a few minutes walk from us just through the village church yard, there is great access to the River Bure.
So if you enjoy being in it, on it, just walking or picnicking beside it, this is a great point to start exploring unspoilt water and grazing meadows, old locks and mill ponds that run for the next 5 miles down stream to the neighbouring village of Buxton and beyond if you wish.
