Coracle Building Derwentwater

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. Specialist equipment for this activity is provided.
