Chelmer & Blackwater Canal Cruises
Once busy with horse-drawn barges, it is today a natural paradise for walkers, boaters and anglers. The 14 miles of towpath offer easy walking through beautiful scenery. The Canal Centre at Paper Mill Lock provides car/coach parking; The Stables teashop; toilet facilities; not forgetting boat and dinghy hire for the more adventurous. Alternatively, enjoy the canal whilst relaxing aboard the passenger barge 'Victoria' on 1 of its spring/summer public trips (available for private hire). We now operate Narrow Boat Hire full day w/emd or short break. Website www.papermilllock.co.uk
