Pedal and Paddleboard

Take a joyride on an electric bike through the charming Hadlow village in the picturesque Medway Valley. Steeped in history, this place used to go by the Saxon name Haeselholte, as recorded in the Textus Roffensis. The Domesday Book noted it as Haslow, and throughout the Middle Ages, it transformed into Hadloe and then Hadlow. Cruise effortlessly down the quaint village street, lined with vintage brick houses and two iconic Tudor inns. Keep an eye out for the historic Hadlow Pharmacy on The Square, serving the community since at least 1856.

Continue along the River Bourne that meanders through the area, once powering a watermill in the heart of the village. Embark on your next pit stop adventure in Tonbridge on the River Medway! Park your bike, grab a paddleboard, and dive into the lake for a splashing good time with your very own British Canoeing Coach. Whether you’re a water wizard or a first-timer, they’ve got you covered with tailored fun. These paddleboard escapades are a two-hour blast, with 90 minutes spent conquering the water. All the gear you need – paddleboards, paddles, safety aids, wetsuits, and even waterproof phone cases – are included for a worry-free aquatic escapade!

After your paddleboard adventure, it’s time to pedal back to bliss! Cruise along Haysden Lake, pedal through picturesque hills to the charming village of Penshurst, nestled in the beautiful Kentish Weald. Here, where the River Medway and the River Eden meet, you’ll find two grand estates. Penshurst Place, once fit for a king – King Henry VIII! Grab a scrumptious lunch in the village center where we’ll catch up with you and your trusty bikes.
