There is something special about travelling through a landscape under your own power.

A river encourages a different pace. The scenery changes around each bend, wildlife appears unexpectedly and the journey becomes just as important as the destination.

Whether on foot, by canoe or simply exploring somewhere new, some of the most memorable adventures begin by following a route and seeing where it leads.

What is your favourite river, stream or waterside location to visit?

What is it about the Ardèche that keeps drawing people back?

For us, it’s the combination of wild rivers, ancient landscapes, hidden wildlife and the simple opportunity to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Ray Mears and the Woodlore team recently spent time exploring the Ardèche and have captured much of what makes this place so special in their latest film.

As a small family-run outdoor centre based on the banks of the Ardèche, we’re proud to share this remarkable region with the schools, families and groups who visit us each year.

If you’ve never visited the Ardèche before, this film will show you why so many people fall in love with it. If you already know the region, you’ll probably find yourself planning your next trip before the credits have finished rolling.

Grab a coffee, put your feet up and enjoy.
