Every spot below can carry its own rules on top of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Season:<\/strong> average daily highs clear 15 \u00b0C from May through October. August is the warmest month, averaging 22 \u00b0C, and outside that window a wetsuit is what separates a short session from a comfortable one.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Rules and licences:<\/strong> Access in England and Wales depends on who controls the water. The Canal &amp; River Trust requires a valid waterways licence for a paddleboard on its canals and rivers, either short term or through Paddle UK membership, and that licence expressly does not cover the Trust\u2019s reservoirs. Lakes and reservoirs in other hands set their own conditions, so check the individual spot before you load the car. There is no statutory kit list, but official guidance after a fatal accident is blunt: wear a buoyancy aid, and a quick release waist leash in moving water.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Paddle Board in River Avon<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> While we strive for accuracy, always verify details before paddling.
