Adrenalin Quarry, adventure in a flooded quarry in Cornwall

Adrenalin Quarry is an outdoor adventure park located in a flooded former quarry in Menheniot, near Liskeard, Cornwall. The company presents itself as a free-entry leisure space that combines gravity rides, a water park and a race track, with views over the quarry surroundings and picnic areas. The offering is aimed at both adults and children, with activities adapted to different ages.

Main activities

The site brings together several adventure attractions. The zip wire, known as The Zip, is described as one of the most extreme in the United Kingdom: it starts at a height of 50 metres and runs for 490 metres. The giant swing, The Giant Swing, is located on the cliff edge, about 150 feet (approximately 45 metres) above the lake, and offers a freefall from the heights. The karting has an 800-metre track, usable in any weather, with karts for adults, youths and juniors, and is indicated for ages 7 and over. The aquapark is an inflatable water park for ages 6 and over, with extreme trampolines, monkey bars, swings and other structures for jumping, sliding and bouncing. Axe throwing is available for ages 12 and over. Coasteering is also offered in the quarry lake.

Audience and visit options

Activities are segmented by age: the aquapark from age 6, karting from age 7 and axe throwing from age 12. The company sells vouchers and passes, such as the Locals Pass, and organises experiences for stag and hen parties. In addition, the site mentions the possibility of booking online or turning up directly for some attractions, such as the zip wire and the swing.

Safety and supervision

The company states that all attractions are supervised by trained instructors, that a safety briefing is carried out for each activity and that equipment is checked and renewed periodically.
