Canoeing with CBA

Embark on an extraordinary Adventure Canoe Trip along the captivating lower Teifi River, from Llechryd to Cardigan, amidst the scenic beauty of West Wales. Delve into a tranquil journey through the gorge, surrounded by the Teifi marshes, as our knowledgeable guides regale you with captivating stories of the area's history and wildlife.

During this immersive experience, we invite you to bring a packed lunch and take a moment to relish the peaceful surroundings at a serene spot along the river. With its diverse ecosystem where fresh and salt waters converge, the tidal Teifi Gorge boasts a rich array of species, creating a truly unique aquatic landscape shaped by ancient glaciers.

This remarkable gorge offers safe and leisurely open canoe paddling suitable for all ages and skill levels. Glide along the lazy river, passing by ancient woodlands and abundant wildlife habitats, making it a must-do activity during your holiday.

As one of the finest examples of a tidal gorge nationwide, the Teifi Gorge provides a secure and awe-inspiring setting for your entire family to enjoy an exciting new sport. The steep, wooded banks teem with otters, red deer, peregrine falcons, kingfishers, dragonflies, and various fish species. Once vital for coracle fishing and slate quarrying, the gorge is now part of the Teifi Marshes nature reserve, offering a stunning and untouched environment for canoeing enthusiasts.

For a glimpse of the breathtaking location before booking, you'll be delighted to know that it was featured on the first episode of Autumnwatch 2022. We had the pleasure of taking Iolo Williams on a mesmerizing river excursion, and you can relive the experience on iPlayer.
