We’re aware of concerns about paddlesports at Ladybower and wanted to provide an update.

In previous years, paddlesports operated alongside the fishery. This year, the two are being run independently and, due to a combination of operational factors — including limited parking capacity and the costs associated with running the activity — the paddlesports provider has taken the decision to stop providing paddlesports at Ladybower at this time.

We want to reassure everyone that we remain committed to supporting paddlesports at Ladybower. We’re currently exploring options for a suitably qualified and experienced operator to provide activities over the summer, while we develop a longer term plan.

If you’re aware of any operators who are suitably qualified and have the appropriate insurances in place, we’d be happy to hear from them — please ask them to contact us at visitorsites@severntrent.co.uk.

We appreciate your patience and will share updates as soon as we can.
