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

“I was suprised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would do the zip wire - I'm petrified of heights. My 2 kids and my wife were queuing up and I suddenly decided "what the hell!". I'm so glad I gave it a go - the anticipation and the metal block was far worse than the exhilarating fun of your first... More

Dear Caversham43, Thanks for coming to Adrenalin Quarry and thanks also for a cracking review. I remember speaking with you when we were by the launch deck doing your harnesses. All the team love to hear that they’re doing a good job and your comments do get passed on. I’m still passionate about it, it’s the only speed I have,... More

“FANTASTIC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

As a seventy year old kid, I was a bit apprehensive but after doing the zip I was thrilled to bits, ( and gave the family a good laugh as well, watching my landing) would like to try the swing next. More

Dear Luke C, Thanks for coming and thanks for a five star review. We get a staggering number of big kids doing the zip, maximum respect from the Adrenalin Quarry Team to you and all the other real silver surfers out there.

“Pricey, but fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

We went a few years ago and did the Zip. I thought that was quite scary, but it was nothing compared to the Swing! Looking up from the ground, those poles seem quite high. When you're fastened to it and being hoisted up, they seem huge- that climb seems to go on forever! I would agree with the comments here... More

Hi Neil, Thanks for visiting us, for coming back, and for reviewing us here on Trip Advisor. We really liked what you wrote about the swing. I limit the number of times I do it as it seems to get more scary the more often I go on. Fair play about the prices: we take a lot of trouble to... More

Went on this for me special birthday treat with the wife, kids, girlfriend, best mate, best mate's wife and best mate stephen. Bit of a queue to get going, the harness was a bit of a tear gerker but a good laugh although very quick and a long trudge back. Thought the swing was better though, didn't do the karting... More

Adrenalin quarry is a fantastic place for those with an adventurous spirit. We tried both the Zip wire and the giant swing. The zip wire is excellent fun and is actually not as scary as it looks. It passes over a water filled quarry and takes less than a minute. I will definitely be coming back year after year. The... More

The experience was great and i really enjoyed the location and options for the zip wire or swing. However the experience lasts only minutes and is very expensive for it. I think if i were going to give some constructive criticism it would be to suggest that they give people 2 goes on the zip wire / swing for the... More
