This site will try and produce an index to the evidence that shows a Public right of Navigation has always, and still does, exist on rivers in England and Wales.

There is an index to the evidence by River name, a guide to how the evidence is presented, and pages for each river showing the history of the evidence for that river. e.g for the River Avon in Hampshire

It is important that the evidence that does exists is easily referred to, in case of any disputes that may arise when people are using rivers.

I hope as this resource grows there will be a better understanding of these rights in England and Wales, and that this will lead to greaater understanding when using our nations rivers.
