The Main Event
Explore the majestic River Severn with this Mini Raft Experience, a perfect gift idea for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. Set in the
picturesque Shropshire countryside, this journey takes between 2.5 to 3.5 hours to paddle and covers a scenic seven-mile stretch. You have up to 4
hours to complete the trip allowing you ample time to soak in the tranquil surroundings at your own pace.
Your adventure begins in the historic town of Bridgnorth, where you will meet the friendly raft crew. For added convenience, a complimentary shuttle bus will transport you to the starting point on the river, ensuring a smooth start to your day. Once aboard your mini raft, you'll paddle downstream, returning directly to your vehicle for a seamless and hassle-free outing.
This experience is tailored for groups of two to five people, making it the ideal choice for a family day out or a memorable trip with friends. The mini rafts offer a stable and comfortable ride, perfect for those who may find kayaks or canoes a bit daunting. It's a wonderful opportunity to bond, share in the laughter, and create lasting memories together.
Setting off from Coalport, within the renowned Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, you’ll witness some of the most stunning natural landscapes the UK has to offer.
Ideal for families with children, or groups looking for a unique way to spend the day together, this Mini Raft Experience invites you to paddle along the water, relax, and discover the hidden beauties of one of Britain's most beloved rivers.
