  • Can I bring my dog?

    Yes, we are very dog-friendly at the National White Water Centre. Providing all dogs are kept under control, all are welcome but unfortunately not on our rafting sessions. Please take extra care during lambing season.

  • Is there anywhere for a cup of tea and a snack?

    Yes, Manon's Riverside Café is on site. There are cakes, snacks and delicious hot lunches plus plenty of hot drinks should you need warming up after your session. They also serve wood-fired pizzas on busy weekend days.
