Half Day Gorge Walk - Afon Ddu

Find a steep river with waterfalls, rocks, deep pools, squeezes and other obstacles, and follow it! Jumping into deep pools, squeezing through gaps, swimming rapids, climbing up wet rocks. Gorge Walking is a fun packed activity suitable for all ages and abilities. One of the most picturesque gorges in North Wales, the Afon Ddu is an ideal venue for a first taste of gorge walking. It involves scrambling up the river, some steep climbs, slides, and a deep pool at the end for some jumps if you're feeling brave.

Wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets will be provided to keep you comfortable in the water. Please note there are no changing facilities or toilet facilities in the car park. After changing into wetsuits and safety gear, it is just a couple of hundred metres until we enter the river!
