Axe & Paddle teach bushcraft and ancestral skills.
Choose from our courses . Now teaching from our new home in the Brecon Beacons in South Wales. You can also book to stay with us or book us to come to your event.
Our aim is to educate modern man and woman in the near forgotten skills of our ancestors. These techniques and methods – often called ‘primitive’ skills, have been perfected over thousands of years and are therefore far from primitive. On the contrary, these crafts, tools and techniques are still superior methods today.
Never have I learnt so much, in such a comforting, supportive and caring manner, with such effectiveness. Working with an axe and knife is scary enough, compounded by the difficulty of learning something completely new, but wow did I learn!
My son enjoyed a wonderful bespoke workshop which was such a brilliant experience for him! Thank you so much! Highly recommended..
Steve, Kirsty and their awesome team provide a safe, secure environment in which to learn unique skills, whilst offering just the right amount of teaching and guidance
The whole experience from booking to departure was simply excellent. Kirsty is a joy to deal with and when you meet the couple the passion for what they do is clear to see.
Steve is a highly knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and hilarious chap who has a natural gift for teaching.
