This course is built for Division 3 and 4 events, and is suitable for those starting out in slalom.

It is on the river Frome at Langham Farm, where two islands are bounded by the river and a mill stream. The start is next to a weir which is usually dry in Summer. The first part of the course follows the route of the mill stream and walls have been built out from the banks to create eddies. The course then flows sharp left under a bridge into a pool below. The final part of the course follows the route of the flat river upstream, with an easy paddle back to the weir.

The site is reached from the A36 Bath to Warminster road by turning off at Woolverton, or from the A361 from Trowbridge at Rode. At Rode turn down the farm track to Langham Farm.

Camping is on the second island, across the bridge. There is car parking on the first island. Caravan parking is at the top of the farm track. The canoe club pitches a marquee next to the course where hot and cold food is available all day.

Dogs by prior arrangement only with the farmer (via the organiser) and must be kept on a lead at all times.

POSTCODES: Because a lot of people use satnav to find unfamiliar places, we include postcodes. Bits of river don't really have postcodes: we show the one for the nearest address we can trace. Using these should get you somewhere near the site but you might find yourself ½ km away, and even on the wrong side of the river. If you can offer a better postcode for any of the courses, email it to .
