'Paddlesport' - Canoeing and Kayaking

 

'Owain ap Gruffydd'

Exploring Anglesey's Coastal Heritage by Canoe or Sea Kayak

A

 

Ynys Mon, or Anglesey, has long been a mecca for sea kayakers, but the island has been inhabited from pre-history, and its rich and varied culture can be traced back to the Druids. Add the varied geology and abundant wildlife of the island, and you have a canoeing and/or kayaking holiday with a difference!  

Kayaking under Telford's Menai Suspension Bridge towards Stephenson's Britannia Bridge at the far end of 'The Swellies' in the Menai Strait.

St Cwyfan's 'Church in the Sea', near Aberffraw, only accessible from land at low tide.

This course will explore the coastline and estuaries of Anglesey, by means of canoe, sea kayak or, occasionally, on foot.

The course is offered on the basis of dates by arrangement for groups of 4-8, so we can adapt the canoeing excursions to the ability and interests of the group. You need only basic canoe or kayak paddling ability on flat water, but more experienced paddlers are welcome.

Canoeing into the Cymyran Strait under Four Mile Bridge, which carried the old Post-Road from London to Holyhead.

If you are not sure of your experience, our 'Introduction to Canoeing or Introduction to Kayaking' courses would provide useful skills and experience for these holiday courses. A group of beginners could combine both courses.

Landing opposite Caernarfon Castle

Setting off by Kayak from Menai Bridge, heading towards Beaumaris.

Geological Formations and seals, in Trearddur Bay.

This course is run on a half-board basis at Ingledene B&B, beside the sea in Trearddur Bay. If you prefer, you may book on a non-residential basis (price on application).

Price from £425 per person based on sharing in twin room. Singles/doubles and family rooms available.

This course is suitable for adults and older children (under-18's need to be accompanied by an adult family member).
