The National White Water Centre - Canolfan Dwr Gwyn Genedlaethol

Based near Bala, on the Afon Tryweryn, North Wales, we developed the first commercial white water rafting operation in the UK in 1986, and since then we have grown to become the largest and most well-respected white water rafting organisation in the UK as well as a centre of excellence for Paddlesport.

The venue was selected as a Pre Olympic Training venue for London 2012. The Tryweryn is a dam released river so water is often flowing when other British rivers are dry, thus producing a unique year round white water venue.
