Coracle Building

• Coracles (from the Welsh ‘swrwgl’ ) have a history dating back hundreds of years. Coracles once served to ferry people across rivers but are now used mainly to fish for prized salmon and sea trout. This nimble, versatile, traditional vessel can be round or oval shaped.
• Our experienced staff will teach you the necessary crafts and skills needed to construct your own modern-day coracle. Once you are happy with your craft it will be time to put it to the test! You and your team will experience the challenge of negotiating a local river in a race against the neighbouring tribes.
• Ideal for both young and older. It can also be a good team challenge.
• Ideal for those staying at the Centre as the construction takes place in the grounds and the launch area is within walking distance.
• Equipment and materials are, of course, provided. You just need a swimming costume or something waterproof to wear (depending upon the season)
