The Boat Centre is located in Leamington Spa’s Victorian Jephson Gardens. The centre offers
- Pleasure boating on a children’s boating lake and along the River Leam through Welsh’s Meadow Nature Reserve
- Canoe and kayak courses from fully qualified BCU Coaches, either at the centre or on regular river trips to The Wye, and across the UK
The Victorian boat house was built in 1901 but was badly flooded in 1998 destroying all of its contents. The centre and boating lake was revamped as part of a Heritage Lottery Grant along with the restoration of Jephson Gardens Victorian Park.
The boathouse is now a thriving activity centre offering over a 100 different types of boats for hire. Tuition courses for canoeing and kayaking run at weekends and during school holidays along with other activities such as the mobile climbing wall. Watersport equipment sales are offered by the resident shop "Canoe Kayak Trader" who deal in watersports clothing, canoes, kayaks and leisure boats of all kinds.
