Wild Swimming

New for 2021! We will be giving you the opportunity to experience the magic and exhilaration of open water in some of the most stunning locations in North Wales. Click here for details of our next Wild Swim Weekend.

Bushcraft Activities

We offer FREE bushcraft and farm activities when you book to stay during the school holidays, including fire lighting, axe throwing and egg collecting. We also have a whole range of courses you can book. Click here for more details.

Family Paddle Adventures

Combining canoeing, stand up paddle boarding and bushcraft, our family expeditions provide an introduction to real wilderness adventures. With our expert guides, you'll learn how to navigate open water safely, whilst practicing essential survival skills to keep you warm and well-fed! Find out more here.

Wellness Retreats

For when you just need to ditch the tech, turn off your smartphone and reconnect with nature. At The Forge you can 'just be'. To give you a helping hand, we offer stargazing, mindfulness and wellbeing experiences. Check out our upcoming Wild Wellness Retreat here.

Trail Running and Hiking

We've got lots of stunning routes in the area, many of which you can start straight from The Forge. We've created these helpful downloadable maps for our two favourite walks: Caer Drewyn hill fort and The Grouse pub walk. You can also find more local routes here.

Whole Site Bookings

Book out the whole of The Forge for you and up to 30 of your friends and family. We can provide the food and all the activities - plus extra tents, or you are very welcome to pitch your own. Click here for more information and prices.
