Best for mixed-age groups and walk-ins wanting hands-on archery, air rifle shooting or falconry, including pensioners and first-timers who find the archery easier than expected.

โœ“ Archery lessonsโœ“ Air rifle rangeโœ“ Birds of preyโœ“ Spectacular Gower viewsโœ“ Patient instructionโœ“ Welcoming team

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

The draw is learning a proper skill under people who clearly love teaching it, whether archery, air rifle shooting or getting close to birds of prey, all perched above one of the finest views in South Wales. Sessions suit a wide age range, so a mixed group can go without anyone sitting out. Weigh the exposed clifftop setting against the weather.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กDress for an exposed clifftop spot with open views over the bay
โฐWalk-ins can be accommodated, though booking ahead is wise in the summer holidays
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธLeave time for an ice cream in the shop and its view afterwards
๐Ÿš—Suitable for older children and teens as well as adults

โ€œWe had a fantastic time doing an archery course at Perriswood today. The location is absolutely beautiful. Brian, Julie, and Gloria gave us the warmest welcome. They truly made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Just plain, simple chat was such a joy. The session run by Julie was outstanding. It was highly informative and supportive. The environment is relaxed but still very professional. You can easily see how much passion the team has for archery and the centre as a whole. They love what they do, and it shows. We learned so much and felt fully backed the whole time. This place is a real gem, and we cannot praise it enough. It is highly recommended for anyone looking for a great day out! NB. I enjoyed the experience so much I returned for the shooting tuition which was also outstandingโ€

โ€œJulie, Archie (yes that's his real name) and the whole team here were so lovely and made our visit feel really special. We didn't book ahead and got a walk-in on the first Saturday of the summer holidays. They gave really good advice and all 4 of us improved our technique in the short time we were there. Afterwards we had a scrummy ice cream in the shop, which has the most spectacular view over the Gower.โ€

Overview

A hands-on session where the archery turns out simpler than most first-timers expect, thanks to instructions pitched to keep things clear for all ages. Brian, Julie, Archie and Gloria run the welcome, so even unbooked walk-ins get settled in, and the pram-friendly access means younger ones aren't left out of the clifftop day.
