Frome Canoe Club has 3 sites that are used at various time throughout the year read on for more information on each site.
Market Yard
This is the site of our club house and is the centre of Frome. Follow the signs for the town library and you will find a large car park with the river running along the back. Turn right as you enter the car park and you will see a large building, this is the Cheese and Grain building, to the left of this is a skate park, and directly behind this is our club house. The following link will take you to multimap but the red circle is at the wrong end of the car park Market Yard map.
Frome Swimming Pool
Our
hiding place when it's cold and dark outside. From the centre of Frome
follow signs to Bath, until you reach a set of traffic lights, at these
lights turn right, you will almost immediately come to a mini roundabout,
turn left here and you will enter the sports centre car park via a service
road. If you want to use your own boat that's fine (No fiberglass boats
are allowed - Sports centre rules) please leave them at the bottom of
the fire escape for the pool. This area is not supervised so we would
recommend that you lock your boat up whilst it is left here. if your not
using your own boat or have dropped yours off you'll find us in the main
foyer of the sports centre. Frome

Langham Farm
This
is our hidden gem of a site. Situated on a small island in the middle
of the river from, this is a lovely location. As this is a moving water
site we expect paddlers here to be of 1 star standard or above. Whilst
this is a club site we do not own it. If you wish to use the site outside
of set club sessions please have a chat to the farmer on arrival. For
non club events there is a flat £5 charge per car for access at
this point.
Langham Farm is the site of Frome Canoe Club's annual Slalom. This normally
takes place the weekend after spring bank holiday.
