The Breighton Ferry Slipway sits on the River Derwent beside the family-run Breighton Ferry pub, roughly 20 minutes from York. It provides river access for paddlers and boaters looking to explore this quiet stretch of the Derwent.

The site also features boat moorings, charged on an annual per-foot basis. Paddlers should note that the slipway surface can be extremely slippery; at least one visitor has found it safer to launch from the adjacent boat pontoons instead.

The surrounding area offers peaceful river scenery and miles of open countryside.
