Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire bring Thames-side adventure — paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing and freediving across South East England's rivers and lakes. Paddleboard and kayak the Thames and its backwaters, canoe gentle reaches, and try freediving at inland centres. Easy to reach and beginner-friendly, the Home Counties make a great spot to learn a paddlesport.
