Derbyshire Dales & Peak District National Park River Access Guide

The following information pages outlines and advises where and where not to paddle in Derbyshire, places to visit whilst you are paddling, and any other relevant items.

The following areas are covered - North Derbyshire, Derbyshire Dales and The Peak District National Park.

This River Access guide will be updated as changes occur.

I welcome any feedback on new or old access points.

Contact me about access.

Summary

Currently access in the area is in a sorry state, but BCU access officers will carry on trying, until we get our foot in the door, where the rivers becomes "access for all..".

Always check with the land owner and obtain permission before you paddle.

As well as reading these please check for details in your current East Midlands River Guide (obtained from BCU Headquarters Nottingham).

I hope you enjoy the canoeing and that your stay in the area is a pleasant one.
