Recommendations as to where to paddle “inland” from Mumblers’
Thornton le Dale beck
The beck just by the Beck Isle Museum. 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 and it’s a good opportunity to eat cake at the cafe
Paddle, ice cream and picnic in 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
