Water sports & activities in the North

Go Do Your Thing, on the water!

From paddleboarding and wild swimming to river cruises and walks by the quayside, take a look at our city guides to plan your water activities across the North.

Enjoying a day out on the water is the perfect activity for families during half-term or the summer holidays. Don't forget that children aged 5-15 travel half price on Northern trains and under 5s travel for free alongside fare-paying passengers. Consider buying a family ticket to make life even easier with one ticket for the whole family, easily accessible online or through the Northern app.
