Huish Episcopi put-in

Huish Bridge sits at the upstream end of a 7.6-mile stretch of the River Parrett reopened by the Langport River Project, running from Oath Lock's sluice gates downstream up to the disused half-lock at Thorney Mills, together with short lengths of the River Yeo and River Isle. From the slipway you can head downstream through Langport, past the pontoons and canoe steps at Cocklemoor, or upstream toward Muchelney.

Between Langport and Bridgwater the Parrett falls only about a foot a mile, so the reach drains slowly and holds water through summer, while the surrounding moors around Huish Episcopi, Midelney and Westover flood readily in winter and after heavy rain. Otters, kingfishers and herons are seen along the river, along with common cranes descended from birds reintroduced nearby at the RSPB's West Sedgemoor reserve.
