Discover North Wales from the Water
From peaceful lakes surrounded by mountains to gentle rivers winding through spectacular countryside and beyond to the amazing coastline, North Wales is one of the UK’s best destinations for canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding.
Whether you’re an experienced paddler or trying it for the first time, staying at Greener Glamping puts you within easy reach of some of the region’s most beautiful waterways, making it the perfect base for a watersports holiday in North Wales.
Spend the day exploring lakes, rivers and reservoirs before returning to your secluded woodland yurt to relax around the fire pit beneath some of Britain’s darkest skies.
Paddle the Beautiful River Dee
Flowing through the heart of the Dee Valley, the River Dee is one of North Wales’ most iconic rivers.
Depending on the section you choose, you’ll find everything from peaceful stretches ideal for leisurely paddling to more adventurous white-water sections for experienced canoeists and kayakers.
With Corwen and Llangollen both nearby, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy one of Britain’s most famous rivers.

Peaceful Lakes and Hidden Gems

Many locations also offer equipment hire and lessons, making it easy to enjoy the water even if you don’t own your own canoe or kayak.
