Discover the reality of life on the island past and present, indoors and out. Enjoy the gardens, grounds and amazing views.
Under the expert eyes of our qualified canoe instructors, pick up a paddle and climb aboard a very stable rafted canoe. On reaching the island enjoy a 45 minute guided tour of Pocklington's Georgian house and then explore the gardens and the rest of the island at your leisure.
Please note;
- Walk 270m past the Keswick Lakeside shop (CA12 5DJ) and the launch jetties to our canoes - look out for the National Trust flag. Please allow 15 minutes to walk to the jetty from the car park.
- Please wear clothing appropriate to the weather forecast as your visit takes place mostly outdoors. We recommend wellies or a change of shoes as you may get wet feet getting in and out of the canoe.
