Messing about on a river
When the weather is fine, you know it's the time
For messin' about on the river
If you take my advice, there's nothing so nice
As messin' about on the river - Josh MacRae 1961.
There really is something special about being out of the water in a boat - watching the swans glide past, listening to the chorus of melodies of the birds on the riverbank, watching the elegant herons standing along the banks, silent sentinels waiting to pounce on the fish.
You can go boating at Ruswarp Pleasure Boats, either rowing boat or kayak. It’s the perfect way to create memories. Ruswarp Pleasure Boats are 9 miles drive from Sealark Cottage. https://www.facebook.com/ruswarpboats/
After your time on the river, you can drive down the road and have a coffee or ice cream at Perry's Plants and River Gardens http://perrysplants.co.uk/. The gardens are right on the river and you can sit and watch other people rowing by. If you like gardening, you can buy a souvenir plant to take home as a memory of staying at Sealark Holiday Cottage
