Mountain Biker, Surfer,
Thankfully we are rapidly approaching the easing of some of the lockdown measures. Is there an opportunity to get outside and enjoy the water?
This is the 3rd post in our series: Where can I SUP… and I don’t mean “on holiday” but “I’ve got 2-3 hours on Saturday morning where can I go?” Or “I’m taking the kids out Saturday afternoon where is easy and safe to SUP?”
We are going to post a hand full of our favorite SUP spots over the course of the next few weeks. Here is the 3rd: Check it out in the App.
Where is it: |
Near Lewes. Take the A26 out of Lewes about 2/3 miles. Turn left following signs to Barcombe. You’ll find a car park a short drive down on your right. |
What’s There: |
Lots of options here. Main attraction other than the river is to paddle up to the Anchor Inn from the carpark. Under normal conditions this is usually a very slow-moving river, very easy to paddle. personally I would feel happy bringing my kids along this is a well-used spot for SUP and wild swimming.

Water Conditions: |
Calm, slow moving river. Good for beginners |
Put in point: |
From the car park, follow the track towards the Environment Agency building and take the gate on your right before the bridge. Follow the path for about 50 meters and you will see a pool with a launching spot. |
Parking: |
You’ll find a car park a short drive down on your right. |
Facilities |
None really to speak of except perhaps the Anchor Pub |
