JUMP OFF A CLIFF:The Zip at Adrenalin Quarry in South East Cornwall, is the UK’s maddest ever zip wire. Long, high, fast. 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.

"Beautiful day so decided on a drive into Cornwall. Went to Trellisk Gardens. NT members so parking free. Walked round some lovely gardens that were just beginning to leaf and blossom. The selection of trees are impressive. Lunch was calling so stepped into the Crofters for a small meal. Expens..."ive but tasty. Staff were slightly overwhelmed with the queues, but managed with a smile. Prompt table service. Then went into the gallery, fabulous art work, was quite tempted but a little past my pocket depth. Stayed for nearly 4 hours.

"Was staying at Mullion Cove so headed up the costal path and met the map showing the walks at the top of the cliff. Great walk to the Lizard 4.5 miles, up the path from Mullion cove is steep but once at the top it plain sailing really enjoyable."
"A delightful mix of ancient settlement and burials and modern industrial archaeology takes a while to sort out. A visit to the Minions Post Office will help. Here, as well as their famous cream teas and icecream you can purchase Peter Stanier's excellent book 'The Minions Moor'. It is essential read..."ing for a walk taking in the Cheesewring (the quarry here is famous in rock-climbing circles), Craddock Moor, Caradon Hill and Kilmar Tor and all will be explained during your progress.
You can even walk from The Minions to Long Tom and King Doniert's Stone - a beautiful space -and Sibleyback Lake too, but that's another story.
Parking is free so take your time and enjoy the peace of this ancient land.
