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.

“Amazing!! Scary!! Awesome!!”

Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

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

“Awesome”

Reviewed May 6, 2013

I arranged for my sons rugby team to Coasteer/blob as well as the zip and swing. Everyone had a fabulous day, the lads especially had a blast. All of the adults sat in the meadow in the sunshine, lit the BBQ and enjoyed watching the boys blob. Everyone was very friendly and the instructors were fantastic with the lads, twenty... More

“First time is a blast”

Reviewed April 22, 2013

Get ready for a thrill ride. The zip line is so fast it will beat most roller coasters, The Giant swing is not for the faint hearted, but if you have the guts. What a rush.

Hi AndyWatson72 (again) wicked! thanks again for a tip top review of your visit in September last year. I think you've nailed it with "if you have the guts" for the swing.

Great time out, took my family for some excitement. Although my sister was very nervous, the friendly staff put here mind at ease and she loved it. I just have to convince my other half that this place will be perfect for our wedding.

We had another excellent visit whilst on holiday in Liskeard, my son and niece thoroughly enjoyed being thrown over the edge on the zip wire. We also visited the Go Carts where fun was had by all. Can't wait to come back again. Brilliant place to visit, can't recommend enough x
