Environment Agency data shows the water is only 1.8cm above the lowest credible level on record in August 2026. Canoeists are increasingly reporting being grounded on the river. Jess Goulding from Tressick Campsite at Hoarwithy, Andy Ormiston from Hereford Canoe Hire and holidaymakers Sue, Paul and their grandchildren tell us their experience of conditions on the water.
