THINGS TO DO IN
CORNWALL #1:

VISIT ADRENALIN QUARRY

Straight after opening in 2009 we topped the national press lists of things to do, family days out & activities in Cornwall. The Times, The Guardian and The Gadget Show all agree: if you’re looking for things to do in Cornwall, start here. And in 2010, we became an approved venue for Cornwall Council’s school holiday activity programme...1001 kids and counting can’t be wrong. Press reviews below:

THINGS TO DO IN
CORNWALL #2:

Try Freshwater Coasteering in Cornwall’s most beautiful quarry. Coasteering in our quarry is an adventure unlike any coasteering you’ve tried before – in Cornwall or anywhere else for that matter.

Visiting Adrenalin Quarry is like finding yourself on the set of Jurassic Park. Dramatic cliffs loom over a deep lake, birds scatter as you smack the surface of the water. As with all our adrenalin activities, we’ve pushed the boundaries of the sport but made it as accessible as possible. So, our coasteering sessions involve wild swimming, tombstoning, an encounter with The Blob and climbing your way across our beautiful Cornish quarry in a truly exhilarating coasteering experience.

The emphasis is always on adrenalin and creating an adventure to remember, whether you’re 10 or 100, timid beginner or fearless adrenalin junkie.

THINGS TO DO IN
CORNWALL #3:

Fly down The UK’s Longest Zip Wire. It’s been highlighted as the top adrenalin attraction in Cornwall for good reason. It’s nearly half a kilometre long, 50 metres high and you reach speeds up to 40mph! Best of all, this adrenalin activity is suitable for all ages – so far we’ve had people as young as 4 and as old as 93 jump off our cliff. So, families and thrill-seekers all welcome…

DO IT ALL IN A DAY
AT ADRENALIN QUARRY

There’s more to Adrenalin Quarry than getting thrown off a cliff. The rides are designed to be safe for families but thrilling for adrenalin junkies. That’s why we’re consistently voted to the top of the ‘best things to do in Cornwall’ lists in the national press.

In 2010, we built a new children’s play park and a picnic area with views of the lake. In 2011, we built The Giant Swing, more viewing decks and a new toilet block. In 2012, we built The Blob, and another new toilet block. We want to keep you comfortable before (and after) we get your nerves jangling...

Biggest rush I've had in UK.......Do the zip wire then the quarry jumping coasteering session. Cornwall rules Perran, Bude, 2010 I went down last year. Flying down the ZIP is one of the best things to do in Cornwall if your on holiday there. SarahH66, YouTube, May 2010
I did surfing and zorbing and coasteering and loads of other stuff when I was on holiday in Cornwall. Loads of people told me though, one of the best things to do was jumping off the zipwire. Didn't get round to it, but it looks amazing. deffo next time Haha I live right near here. I've been on it and this zipwire is awesome!! NuttyFruitcake14, YouTube, Feb 2010 My brother did this with his wife and LOVED it. I haven't had chance to do this, so anyone who does have the chance do it for me! Thanks... I will be jealous.

THE WHAT, WHERE,
WHEN & HOW OF AQ Do I have to pay to enter Adrenalin Quarry? No. Entry is FREE. Many people drive up just to take a look around and watch the jumpers and the coasteering from our spectacular viewing platform on the cliff’s edge. I have small children. Is Adrenalin Quarry suitable? Absolutely. Children are our most fearless customers! They dive off The Zip and ride The Giant Swing everyday and love it. Last year, our youngest jumper was only five years old. However, if you prefer driving to diving, right next door is Kartworld,
Cornwall’s top go karting centre. We also have a picnic area where families can sit down, take in the views over the lake and watch the jumpers and now there's a play area for the kids, too. Do you provide food? No we don't: we just throw people off cliffs. Please bring a picnic, and if you want a drink you can go to the tap. Hot drinks and snacks are available at Kartworld (onsite). There are also a number of good pubs, restaurants and diners nearby. For group Zip or Coasteering bookings we can arrange gourmet packed lunches from The Hayloft Bistro. Just let us know your requirements and we’ll get you fed on the day.
Is it safe? Yes. We’ve gone out of our way to provide a genuinely thrilling experience that gets your heart pumping without compromising on safety. There are regular safety checks across the site, daily equipment checks and replacement well within the recommended time limits. We only use state of the art gear: Petzl pulleys, tri-lock karibeners, 13mm climbing and caving rope lanyards, DMM harnesses, and Kenwood handheld radios. When better equipment becomes available, we’ll use it. This is why families AND adrenalin junkies alike keep coming back to us. Big thrills, no spills.
I’m thinking of coming, but I’m concerned some of my family/group will be too scared to go down. How do you deal with this? We welcome all types of people, from the truly nervous to the gung-ho. Our instructors are friendly and reassuring and are really good at calming the jitters. So much so, that we often find that the people who start off gulping at the start are soon rushing back for more. If you really don’t fancy it, you can relax with a coffee in hand and watch the jumpers on our nice, solid viewing platform overlooking the quarry lake.
I have a disability. Can I fly down The Zip? Yes. Last year, we had many wheelchair users and people with disabilities jump down The Zip. Please ring in advance to book your tickets and discuss your needs. Are there disabled toilets? Yes. HOW DEEP IS THE QUARRY LAKE? It's 22 metres at its deepest point. For imperialists, that comes in at 72 foot and 2 inches.
Can we get photographs of
our Zip jump? Yes. Here’s how: as you jump, keep one hand on the rope, hold your phone/camera in your free hand, hold your arm straight so the lens is looking at you – you can’t go wrong. You can get really excellent footage to take away with you as a memory or share with friends. >>Take a look at all the stuff on youtube
