Water Sports

Durham boasts rivers, reservoirs and coast - so whether you enjoy fishing, sea angling, sailing or canoeing, you're sure to find something to whet your appetite. Try the superb sailing on Derwent and Grassholme Reservoirs, or join the water-skiers on Balderhead. For a more leisurely afternoon, take a rowing boat on the River Wear to gain a different perspective on Durham's historic skyline, or cruise along Durham's Coast with Seaham Boat Charter.
