A Meirionnydd outdoor adventure centre has scooped a top national award.

Min y Don Christian Adventure Centre in Arthog, has been named this year’s best canoe/kayak experience by the National Adventure Awards.

Situated on the shores of the Mawddach Estuary and set against the spectacular backdrop of the Cadair Mountain Range, the centre provides a unique setting for family and youth Group holidays, as well as the perfect setting for residential outdoor education courses for schools.

Min y Don comprises a 13-acre estate of gardens and woodland that provide a peaceful yet challenging environment in which to find rest and relaxation or adventure and excitement!

Min y Don works mainly with primary schools throughout the school term, but is also hugely invested in working with families – including single parent families though the charity Care For The Family.

Often the families who go on a summer holiday to Min y Don through Care for the Family are taking their first family holiday for many years together.
