I've always liked the idea of canyoning, but it seems that there's few places where it can be done in England. Does anyone know of any such places?

I actually went Gorge Walking weekend before last near a place called Clydach (Cwm Dyar), and it was brilliant :) I went with a group of about fifteen of us and I organised it through a chap called Michael at http://www.lifechangingactivities.com/ There are some great places as @Berry120 has said in the Brecon Beacons such as the Afon Mellte - beautiful waterfalls. Often see groups down there. I went on my stag do near there last year and went swimming! But saw a few others clambering around in the river with ropes - tell tale sign! In North Wales (Snowdonia National Park) sometimes see people near some of the valleys near Coed Y Brenin Forest Park. Try also visting this site: http://www.canyonguides.org/ if you want to find places in Scotland Lake District also has a few places for example the Esk Gorge. Take my word for it, its absolutely great fun and can definitely recommend the above.. |

Canyoning aka Gorge Walking or Gorge Scrambling takes place in the Brecon Beacons National Park, the best known location for this activity in the UK! |

From a search around, it seems there's a number of places that do it in the SW of England, Devon seeming to come up a lot: http://www.yumping.co.uk/canyoning/south-west-england The other place where it seems to be popular is in the Brecon Beacons in Wales, and around that general area: http://www.adventurebritain.com/canyoning-in-wales-uk/ |
