Tips if you are going to do Canoeing in Wales

Canoeing is one of the most popular activities in watersports. It allows you to relax while you get an adrenaline rush. It doesn't matter how experienced you are, there is always an option to try canoeing, especially in Wales, where you can encounter rugged coastlines, hundreds of crystalline lakes, a wealth of winding rivers, canals and more spots.

Wales is known for its breathtaking mountains, shady canals, and exhilarating coasts, among other facts. There are countless centres, schools and companies offering options to meet your expectations and needs, when it comes to canoeing. It is also a great place to escape from your daily routine for a moment.

You can enjoy a canoeing session any time of the year, however, people usually visit Wales during the warmer seasons, such as summertime, early fall and the end of spring. Canoeing is also an ideal activity to get some action causing zero impact on the environment. If that sounds appealing to you, and if you enjoy being around stunning sceneries, let us share the best places to enjoy a canoeing session!

Where to go coneing in Wales?


• Snowdonia National Park: The most important venues for canoeing adventures are located in three National Parks and their surroundings, starting with Snowdonia National Park, where you can find multiple options to enjoy a relaxing or exhilarating canoeing session. From lakes to rivers, Snowdonia is a wonderful area to paddle around.

• Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid) . Wales is popular for its selection of Lakes. The Bala Lake is the biggest one in Wales. A curious fact about lakes in Wales is that most lakes are man-built reservoirs. Isn't that interesting? Llyn Teig is known for being a paddling trail, making it a perfect venue for complete beginners. You will enjoy a flatwater canoeing experience, where you can acquire canoeing skills. Many centres deliver guided trips from start to finish points, letting you enjoy the picturesque Snowdon Mountain. It's an area of rich wildlife and vegetation.

• Llangollen. There are multiple options for paddlers in Llangollen. You find the River Dee, a place where you can enjoy the fresh air and take deep breaths. It has sections of 2-4 grades, making it an option for complete and intermediate people. It's the fourth-longest river in Wales, having a spectacular view of its surroundings.

You also have the Llangollen Canal. This aqueduct stands 126ft high, having 19 arches with 1007ft total. It attracts many visitors during the year. It's also a great location for complete beginners and family groups. It crosses the border between England and Wales, allowing you to be the spectator of the magical countryside and breathtaking views.

• Anglesey. For the real thrill-seekers who want a challenging canoeing experience, Anglesey is one of the best options in Wales. You will encounter a 250m coastline, where you can enjoy an extreme tidal rapid. We suggest having the skills to paddle if you consider coming to Anglesey for a sea canoeing adventure or hiring a professional and qualified coach to ensure your safety.

- Brecon Beacons:

It's a stunning place if you want to delight your eyes. You can find lakes and waterways from Grade one to six. Be sure it's never a bad idea to experience a canoeing expedition in the Brecon Beacons.

• Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal. It's a peaceful area, perfect for complete beginners. It follows the line of the Usk Valley, and it has a length of 35 miles. It's also a protected area from wind, meaning you will experience a calm canoeing session. It's an ideal place for tours, guided trips and family activities.

• The River Wye. It's one of the largest Rivers in The UK, entitled an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's recommended to have previous experience if you want to have a canoeing session here since it's a fast-flowing river going for almost 100miles. You will experience the beautiful scenery of the Wye Valley as you get some action with canoeing.

• Beacons Reservoir. It's an ideal option for group canoeing. It's flat water of 52-acre, allowing you to explore the small wilderness area. It's a popular place for fishing, so you are welcome to hire a canoe to enjoy a thrilling canoe-fishing experience.

- Pembrokeshire: This area is known for its beautiful and challenging beaches. It’s popular for tidal rapids and challenging canoeing experiences.

• The Pembrokeshire Coast is a 220-mile coastline, welcoming paddlers of all levels. You can explore this National Coast with Canoeing Tours or Canoeing challenges. The Gower Peninsula is also a perfect spot for canoeing due to its stunning bays and coves. It's usually crowded during summertime. There is plenty of wildlife you'll find, such as seals, dolphins and puffins.

• The Teifi River. It's the longest river in Wales. It has different grade sections, meaning you can come regardless of your experience. It's also known as the Queen of Rivers since you can enjoy any kind of water activity in this beautiful area. It’s also a place for paddling trails.

What do I need to know before renting a canoe in Wales?


Some venues require a paddling license. You'll have to check the Canal & River Trust in England and Wales list before booking a canoeing session in Wales. Most of the coast, tidal waters and lakes don't require a waterways license, however, it's better if you take out a Canoe Wales on the Water membership. It's affordable, and you can always find discounts for groups, families, children and couples.

If you want to protect the environment, make sure you book a canoeing session in a place with enough water in the river. You'll take care of the fish species since they usually leave their eggs in the shallow parts of the rivers.

Don't hesitate to visit Wales for a canoeing session. It's a magical place for expeditions and adventures. People of all ages and abilities are welcome. You will find the perfect spot, and now, by reading these recommendations, you don't have an excuse!
