With our centre situated on the banks of the River Wye we have the perfect setting for your canoeing adventure, perhaps shooting rapids or just a lazy paddle on a quite scenic stretch of the river.
Your day will begin by meeting us at our centre at Kerne Bridge, where a member of our team of top qualified coaches will give you a full safety brief, and all the help and advice you need to get you on the water with confidence.
We have a large free car park, and we are able to transport you and your canoes up river in our mini bus for trips finishing at Kerne Bridge. Pick up by arrangement for trips downstream of our centre.
