Twin wires cross the flooded depths of the old quarry, sheer cliffs rise on either side.The Zip is the only place in the UK where you can just turn up and jump. NO NEED TO BOOK! No fuss, no pre-booking, no hours of waiting around – we throw you off our cliff within minutes of arrival. We're easy to find, just off the A38 main road. THE GIANT SWING: IT WILL LEAVE YOU SPEECHLESS. Perched at the top of our cliffs, The Giant Swing hangs 50ft off the ground, 150ft over water. You’re hoisted to 80° then plunged 3-at-a-time over the lake. Just when you think there’s no turning back, you pull out of the dive and experience zero gravity, before doing it all again – backwards. First reactions (after recovery time): ‘I was floating on air for 20 minutes afterwards.’ ‘The most amazing thing I’ve ever done.’ ‘Awesome!’ ‘Someone’s gonna pay for this!’. ‘I want to go home now’.No need to book this either! Suitable for all ages 5 - 96 JUMP RIGHT OFF THE CLIFFS INTO OUR LAKE! COASTEERING with THE BLOB at Adrenalin Quarry is unique. Check out our videos and snaps on facebook. We’re the first coasteering venue where the action’s all freshwater and children aged 10 or more can join in. We’re the only coasteering venue in the world where you feel like you’re on the set of Jurassic Park.Go wild swimming, traverse rockfaces, climb sheer cliffs then jump no-strings-attached into the lake. There’s always a safety boat on the water and BCF/SLSGB-qualified coasteering instructors guide you all the way. We’re also fully AALA registered. All this plus free entry, amazing views, bring your picnic and watch all the action from the viewing decks or down by the lake. Pets on leads are welcome, we're easy to find right by the A238 main road. « less

“Kids and adults love it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2013

This was our 2nd visit. Both adults and children alike love this. Staff not overly friendly but nevertheless, good hour or so spent there. No queues too as got there at opening time.

Dear Mandy1319, Thanks for a great review, and for being honest. I'm absolutely gutted that the team weren't friendly to your and your family. Please accept my apologies, we clearly screwed up somewhere and did a less than perfect Job. Sorry.

“Too old for this but....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2013

My 11 year old wanted to do this and we were staying locally so I gave it a go. At £12.50 (each) it's expensive enough but not the sort of thing you would do every day so didn't object to paying the money. Middle of half term on a nice day I expected it to be busy with long queues... More

We did the zip line (500m) longest zip line over the quarry & lake. I wasn't sure about going down, until I saw a 4yr old zip down with his Dad! Exhilarating experience would definitely recommend this to anyone
