Life Changing Activities - Herefordshire

An activities & days out.

If you want to go climbing, abseiling, gorge walking, survival training, canoeing, caving or experience high ropes, the team at Life Changing Activities can provide you with an adventurous experience you won't be forgetting in a hurry! We organise outdoor activities such as climbing, abseiling, and canoeing in Gloucestershire, the Wye Valley and Brecon Beacons (Bannau Bryncheiniog). Or for something different you could go gorge walking in Monmouthshire and Powys, survival training in Gloucestershire or raft building in the Forest of Dean. We also provide Hill and Mountain guided walks or skills in Worcestershire and Herefordshire. But we are more than just outdoor activities. It's about being able to just be in the activity during our outdoor activities and helping people have an enjoyable, memorable experience. Our outdoor activities can be tailored to suit any group, any age, and any ability. Whether you are searching for corporate outdoor activities for your company, something exciting for a group of friends to do, an outdoor activity that all the family could enjoy, or just want something to suit a Hen Party or Stag Party, then we can provide an outdoor pursuit tailored to you. If outdoor activities seem a bit too strenuous then we can organise a Team Challenge or a Survival Challenge which are competitive fun sessions that anyone can do, no matter what age or ability. Outdoor activities such as climbing, abseiling and gorge walking need you to be reasonably mobile, but canoeing, survival training, raft building, and Team Challenge are outdoor activities that can be done by anyone of any age. We can also provide outdoor multi- activity days to suit your party, so if you want to have a day of climbing and survival training or a morning of abseiling and an afternoon of gorge walking then we can arrange an outdoor activity session just for you. Have a look at all the outdoor activities on our web site and do feel free to ask if you have any queries. If you already know which outdoor activity that you want for your group then just click on the links above for more details. Don't forget we can mix and match any of these activities to give you and your party the type of adventure that you want.

Our farm is situated only 2 miles outside of Hereford ​city center in the glorious South Hereford countryside. ​The farm is family run, it has been passed down ​through three generations, so far! The farm has ​changed in many ways over the years as technologies ​have progressed and even the idea of 'farming' has ​developed. We are beginning to branch out into other ​ventures, using the farm as a base. We have a variety of rare breed animals here, including ​Saddleback pigs, Ryeland sheep, Jacob sheep and ​British Longhorn cattle. We also keep chickens, Rhea, ​Boer Goats and our lovely donkey named Jack. As a family we really love our farm, the animals and ​everything it has to offer, and we simply want to share ​what we have been blessed with.
