About Canterbury Westgate Punts

Experience the tranquillity and beauty of Canterbury's Great Stour River.

Boats depart from Westgate Bridge, winding through the delightful Westgate Gardens, past Binnan'ea Island Nature Reserve and on... into the unspoilt countryside beyond. Alternatively, explore the ancient history and architecture of the city centre as you drift along the Roman-built canal.

Food and drinks allowed, large family/group discounts on offer. There are 30, 50 and 65 minute trips available.

If arriving at the Wincheap Park and Ride facility, we also offer trips from the Westgate Bridge to a convenient spot on the river adjacent to the Park and Ride (3-min walk). What nicer way to leave the city!
