The Avon River is a splendid destination for those who enjoy kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding, offering a diverse range of experiences. Whether you seek an exhilarating expedition journey, a leisurely splash in the water, or anything in between, this majestic river has something to offer for everyone. The river's scenic beauty and rich wildlife are captivating, and at times, truly breathtaking. Over the past half-century, since the Avon was restored as a navigation, the deep-channeled waters and numerous locks have transformed into precious habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna. The river flows through the heart of England's historical tapestry, passing by climactic battles, monasteries, castles, stately homes, and the early industrial era of mills and navigation.

The Avon's international fame is largely attributed to its association with the legendary William Shakespeare, and paddlers cannot help but be drawn into a bit of Bardolatry while enjoying the river. This book serves as a guide for those who wish to explore the Avon and navigate its many locks and weirs, while also appreciating the river's remarkable natural and historical surroundings.
