Adventure activities at Runway's End
Half day adventures
Looking to entertain the family with some adventure? Look no further than our half day adventures.
Scale the climbing tower, embrace your inner warrior with archery, become a sharpshooter in air-rifle shooting, and explore the passageways of our artificial cave system.
We provide all specialist equipment so all you’ll need is a camera to capture some memories and a spirit of adventure!
Guided canoe tours
Guided by our friendly staff, this is a great opportunity to explore, by water, the scenic and historical stretch of the Basingstoke Canal including sights like a World War 2 pill box and local wildlife. The trip includes some light refreshments at a picturesque picnic spot.
The trip begins from Runway’s End Outdoor Centre with a brief introduction from your guide. We will share some canoeing top tips before we set off.
We'll be paddling the stretch of water running under Claycart Bridge. Like its sister, Eelmoor Bridge further upstream, it’s an Army-owned bridge designed by Captain Hopkins during the First World War. It has featured in lots of films, including ‘Bridge of Spies’.
