Longest at 490m; highest at 50m; fastest at 40mph. Twin parallel 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 THE ZIP! 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, briefly 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. Suitable for all ages 5 - 96 JUMP RIGHT OFF THE CLIFFS INTO OUR LAKE! COASTEERING at Adrenalin Quarry is unique. 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

What a wicked day out! The staff we friendly and they told us that our 2 yr old was the smallest person to go on the zip line.............ever! The kids loved it, well worth the money. The giant swing was scary, my husband thought that it was even more nerve racking than doing a skydive! I will definately do this... More

If you like a little excitement to get the blood pumping this place is for you. We went as 2 couples and had such a great time. For the money you get all the gear, and expert guides to walk you through the fun. They would encourage all to join in without putting pressure on and were helpful throughout. The... More

Dear Colbourne, thanks for a great review, we're really pleased that you liked the coasteering, my apologies if the group was larger than you had expected. When you come down this way again ( we have a new twist in the session) please let us know you'd prefer jump off cliffs with fewer witnesses! We'll do our best to get... More

We went as two couples, and had such a fantastic time. The coasteering is something we had fancied for ages and we weren't disappointed. We were well looked after, and encouraged to jump as high as we dared (but not forced into anything too high!!). I would really recommend this place if you get the chance- thanks to all the... More

I took my 82 year old dad on the zip wire. The staff were fantastic; very helpful and they also made sure he was looked after at the end until I could meet him. We both really enjoyed it and if we had more time we would have had a few more turns. Flying over the beautiful lake was a... More

Dear Gerberajo, thanks for a great review: "well organised" is a lovely compliment, we have to be that way in this game. The trick is to do it with a smile and that's what we aim for. Come back any time and have another go on that swing, it's even worse the second time! Best wishes Will Sneyd MD More

Great fun. The kids had a fab time and staff were very friendly and made sure everyone had a great time. The coasteering was excellent and my teenage girls were participating with a family of 20 something men. Everyone was very kind to them and Ben made the girls jump first (just to make sure they shamed the men to... More

Dear Adrian, thanks for coming, our local market is the hardest to reach ( you guys don't pick up our leaflets or browse for things to do in Cornwall) so it's really satisfying to get a response like yours. Cheers for a corking review, come back and see us anytime Best wishes Will Sneyd MD More

Wow, what a wonderful experience, so serene and calm, why was I giggling hysterically? It was just so much fun, I was a small child again having my first go on a swing or a slide.
