Huntspill River

A man made watercourse with a sluice at the seaward end constructed in the early 1940's to provide water for a nearby Royal Ordnance Factory. It is the venue for many national angling competitions but the NRA allow canoeing throughout the year between SLOWAY BRIDGE (302051) and the seaward end. Access at the BRIDGE on either bank (NRA property). A slipway has been built for the use of disabled canoeists and application MUST be made to the NRA at BRIDGEWATER Tel. 0278 427333. Negotiations are pending for access to the whole river up to GOLD CORNER and the CRIPPS RIVER. It is a useful sprint course.
