What Can I Expect
An action-packed activity break in South Wales! These packages for two or four people with or without accommodation will see you taking on three different activities across two days in the heart of the Welsh countryside in Powys, on the edge of Brecon Beacons.
Based in and around Pontneddfechan, a secluded village just half an hour inland from the hustle and bustle of Swansea, this is outdoor fun in South Wales at its very finest. You will be taking on canyoning, kayaking and crazy zip line adventures too.
When you go canyoning you are following the course of the river bed, swimming, jumping and scrambling as you go. With your instructor leading, you'll discover ancient gorges, hidden pools and waterfalls whilst getting very wet (but, of course, you have a wetsuit on!).
Kayaking is done on the Monmouth & Brecon Canal. It's a really lovely way to spend a few hours, as you meander along under bridges, past fields and ancient woodlands, paddling as you go. The mountain backdrop is pretty stunning too!
And then there are the zip lines. Zip World is the biggest and best in South Wales, if not the UK. Built on the former Tower Colliery site, you will be zipping at speeds of up to 70 mph along two incredible zip wires.
From the top of Rhigos mountain, the 920m-long line whizzes you down over the Lyn Fawr Reservoir, skimming the treetops as you come into land. Your return to the colliery is rather conveniently also by zipline - another super speedy ride along 620m. Just brilliant!
If you go for the activities with accommodation deals, you will be staying overnight in self-catering accommodation in the Pontneddfechan area, ideally-placed for your activity break in South Wales.
Fantastic instructors, top-notch gear, superb locations and all with a great sense of humour, you're going to love your activity-filled weekend in South Wales!
