Trusty, Kathleen and Maria Constable operate on the eight mile stretch on the Suffolk/Essex River Stour above and below Dedham Lock.
From Spring until the end of October, our trip boats are available for a range of scheduled trips and private charters operated by our team of fully trained volunteers. A couple of our boats operate on the stretch below Dedham Lock between Dedham, Fen Bridge, Flatford and Brantham/Cattawade whilst a third boat operates between above Dedham Lock to Stratford St Mary.
The River Stour Trust is a registered charity (No. 257806) and our activities would not be possible without the efforts of dedicated volunteers. Proceeds from our activities go towards the restoration and conservation of the River Stour Navigation for the benefit of everyone.
