Five for Friday – Wonderful Waterways

 
Okay we admit it Oswestry is not a seaside destination but that doesn’t mean we are not wild about the wet stuff! Canals, lakes, meres, waterfalls & rivers we are surrounded by  water in the best of ways and there really is something for everyone!
If you are looking for thrills Bearded Men Adventures have you covered for sure. From Rafting and Tubing on the Dee to a Kayak adventure over the Stream in the Sky at Pontcysllte Aqueduct!
Or maybe  you fancy a sublime slice of cake and a traditional horse drawn canal trip and a more leisurely, one may even say sedate pace… then take a look Llangollen Wharf where you can also take powered canal boat rides to the Aqueduct. Or maybe you want to be the skipper then the team Anglo Welsh – The Narrowboat Holiday Company will be very happy to help, but if you are short on time they also take you across the stream in the sky with Seren Fach!

If you like a dip then Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid) may be the place for you in the Snowdonia National Park or why not visit one of our rugged waterfalls like Pistyll Rhaeadr in Llanrhaeadr YM or Rhiwargor Falls a short walk from the stunning Lake Vyrnwy. There are lots of opportunities to paddleboard, kayak, and more besides. With local pubs and tea rooms never too far away to refresh and refuel you for your next adventure.
