Boating at The Anchor, Barcombe

View of Anchor Inn barThe Anchor Inn
Boating on the Sussex Ouse

The Anchor Inn has from time immemorial enjoyed boating rights over the most beautiful stretch of the River Ouse from the Anchor Inn to the attractive fish ladder 'falls' extending below Sutton Hall. The river scenery is quite unspoiled and plays host to many wild birds including herons, kingfishers, swans, cormmorants and moorhens. The river also holds an abundance and variety of fish, which can usually be seen basking on the river's surface. The only building visible on the tip is the spire of St. Margaret's Church, Isfield.

The round trip to the falls and back, made in comfortable two, four or six seater boats, hand propelled by paddles takes a leisurely two hours, although the boats may be hired by the hour or day as desired.
Prices are 6.00 per adult per hour, £3.00 per under 14 per hour. Life jackets are available for minors. Phone to enquire about general discounts for parties of 10 + and people wishing to go out for the whole day. Picnic hampers available.
