Canoeing Courses & Holidays
A rapidly developing sport in the UK canoeing should not be confused with kayaking, (it's closed deck relative). Canoeing (or open boating as it is often called) is a beautiful, elegant way of exploring the water and enjoying the wildlife and scenery. Plas y Brenin has been involved in the evolution of high quality canoe coaching over the last 20 years. The centre's central location makes Plas y Brenin unique with access on our doorstep to some of the most beautifull lakes and scenic white water in the UK - it simply can't be beaten. Our modern, well-maintained canoes and state-of-the-art coaching methods combine to give the best possible introduction to canoeing with excellent facilities and location creating the opportunity to develop and hone your canoe skills.
