The Lake District

The kayaking operators provide the services across the whole of the lake district including areas such as; Walney and the small islands of Roa Island, Piel, Sheep Island and Foulney offer varied kayaking, from sheltered waters to strong tidal flows and overfalls. With National nature reserves at both South and North ends of Walney and on Foulney, this is a paradise for birdwatching, with vast numbers of wading birds, flocks of Eider and Geese.

Add in the large seal colony near Walney light, rare maritime plants, and the ever-present backdrop of the lakeland fells, this makes for a superb kayaking area.

A very large tide range means that the environment is in a state of constant change, and no two visits are ever the same. Further up the Walney Channel, the Port of Barrow provides plenty of interest as you are carried along on the powerful currents. The sheltered nature allows novice kayakers to experience fast-moving water in a safe environment. kayakers seeking greater thrills are well catered for by the turbulent seas off Hilpsford Point at the southern end of Walney.
