Recommendations as to where to paddle “inland” from Mumblers’
- Thornton Le Dale beck
- The beck just by the Beck Isle Museum in Pickering. There’s a grassy area right next to it for a picnic.
- The stream in Dalby Forest near the Visitor Centre
- Sinnington near Pickering – just near the bridge
- The Tearooms near Falling Foss waterfall
- The beck in Hovingham is nice
- The stream at Hutton Le Hole
- Kirkham Priory and Howsham Mill – more suitable for slightly older children. Lovely walk
- Menethorpe / Low Hutton – beautiful stream to picnic and paddle, as well as a lovely walk along the River Derwent
- Wykeham Lakes is nice to paddle in, lovely and shallow at the edges and free parking.
- The ford and beck at Kirkdale is lovely for a paddle – nice and shady on a hot day and lots of woodland running alongside for a picnic. The beck runs about dry in summer and is at full flow in the colder months
