Boating near Newcastle upon Tyne

Spend a couple of days cruising the national border along one of the country’s most beautiful rivers – the largely unexplored River Tweed. Our detailed boating guide tells you all you need to know to make your voyage a success. The peaceful River Wansbeck can also be discovered by boat from the coast to Ashington, and if you’re lucky you may spot a water vole.
