Local tourist attractions

Activities: There are so many local activities in the area, a week will hardly scratch the surface ! Something for everyone, from Canoeing, Velorail, gold panning, geocaching, rock climbing, archery, horse riding, caving, hiking.......... Canoeing at nearby Corgnac sur l'Isle, Brantome, Tourtoirac. Velorail: which is along an old railway line, 2 people pedal and 3 can sit behind, (battery pedal powered assistance options) this makes for a great family activity. Gold panning: yes you can book to go gold panning in the river Isle below the impressive Jumilhac Le Grand chateau. There is also a gold museum to visit too. (Bookings at the tourist office) Rock climbing: Excideuil with its rocky outcrops makes for the perfect place to try your hand at this exciting sport. (Bookings at the tourist office) Archery; another activity organised by the tourist office during the summer. Caving: there is huge network of caves in this area and if visiting the Grotte de Tourtoirac isnt enough to satisfy your underground excitement, then a booking with the caving group via the tourist office is something you may wish to do. Lake beach at Rouffiac with water activites (water skiing) and zip wire, acro branch climbing. Horse riding; at the nearby stables near Tourtoirac, for riders of all levels. Geocaching; a free activity for all the family. There is a wonderful loop walk around Excideuil with lots of exciting geocaches to find, including one in a 60 m cave (bring your torch). Walking/cycling/running; tracks straight from the end of the driveway.
