The River Stour Trust is a registered charity (No. 257806), led by volunteers dedicated to the restoration and conservation of the River Stour Navigation for the benefit and enjoyment of the public. You can help whether you choose to join us as a member, make a donation, and/or support our activities and events. This river has a long history which we hope you will help us preserve.

For generations the River Stour occupied a central position in the lives of people living on its banks, both in work and play. It is one of the most attractive rivers in the country, winding through a wide pastoral and wooded valley past towns and villages of great beauty and with many historical associations.

The River Stour Trust runs scheduled trips and private charters on its boats at Sudbury, Flatford, and Dedham (subject to existing bookings and commitments) from Spring until the end of October.

SUDBURY RIVER TRIPS - Rosette, Francis J, Edwardian Lady and the John Constable Lighter operate between Sudbury, Great Cornard and Great Henny.

FLATFORD & DEDHAM RIVER TRIPS - Stour Trusty II and Kathleen operate between Stratford St Mary, Flatford, Dedham and Brantham.
