About Cotswold Boatmobility
Cotswold Boatmobility is a CIO dedicated to making boating accessible to people of all abilities, particularly those with mobility, mental health or learning challenges. Based on the Stroudwater Canal near Stonehouse, we provide opportunities for everyone, regardless of physical limitations, to enjoy the peaceful experience of being on the water.
We have specially adapted boats and facilities that cater to people with disabilities of all kinds, enabling them to take part in an activity that might otherwise feel out of reach.
Where are we based and when do we go out?
We are based on the Stroudwater Canal at Ryeford. We currently offer regular 2 hour long trips 3 times a week all through the year, as well as one-off trips for different groups particularly during the summer months.
