National White Water Centre, near Bala Frongoch, Bala, Gwynedd, LL23 7NU 01678 521083 Canolfan Tryweryn - Canolfan Dŵr Gwyn Cenedlaethol/National White Water Centre Open: 9.00am - 4.00pm Prices: Varies, depending on activity, please check website.

In a nutshell. Welcome to the UK’s first commercial white water rafting centre. It’s also the largest. The aquatic action takes place on the Tryweryn, a dam-released river, so the water is always white – and very wet – whatever time of year you come.

Why go? To ride the steep chutes and boulder-strewn rapids of the Tryweryn, that’s why. Or to try tandem kayaking. Or to get equally wet and wild on a canyoning trip.
