But restoring the slipway will allow an expanded programme of coracle paddling over future summer months, Ms Blockley said. "This will mean we can do more of these drifts and we can bring more people in and out of the river safely," she said.They have been used across Europe for thousands of years, particularly in the region of Wales and the Welsh borders, the trust said.
Funding has come from the People's Postcode Lottery and bricklayers are due to begin work this week to replace damaged bricks.The coracle shed was restored in 2015 and the trust said it was the last one in England
