About Via Ferrata Cornwall

Activity Dog Friendly Family Friendly Food & Drink Good for Couples Outdoor
High Wire Adventures: Via Ferrata Course and Zip Wire safari!
In need of an epic adrenaline adventure? We have some fantastic activities to choose from in our stunning historic granite quarries…
Via Ferrata:
Take on the ultimate high wire adventure – scale cliff faces, brave the high wire bridge and soar through the air on our zip wire finale, the longest and highest zip line on-site! Get ready to conquer fears, push your limits, build confidence and feel a real sense of achievement when you reach the summit! Routes cater for adventuresome 8 year olds through to daring thrill-seekers.
Zip Wire Safari:
If you just love zip-lining, then why not take on our Zip Wire Safari and fly over the quarry on 3 dual zip wires! Part way through you’ll also get to traverse across the cliff edge to get from one zip wire to the next, adding to the excitement. Our zip wires are dual, so you’ll have the fun of launching off the platforms and soaring round together in pairs (though you can come in odd numbers or solo and make new friends as you fly round!).
Other adventures:
You can also try freshwater coasteering in our quarry, watersports (a mix of kayaking and canoeing), stand-up paddleboarding, rock climbing and archery.
Finally, there are adventure nature trails and a Café run by The Cornish Barista (with seriously good food and drink and beautiful views over the quarry!). Both of these are dog-friendly. There’s also a wild play area for children under 10 and free parking.

What Visitors Say

"This activity is simply the best adventure activity in the south west, friendly but professional at a great location, I with my son have been 3 times and the only argument is which one of the amazing activities to choose.10/10 on everything.
"
"Family of 4, with 14 and 16 YO kids - what an awesome day! Despite being end of Oct, weather was kind... We did the Via Ferrata in the 2 quarries, the bridge and the zip wire. This was the highlight of our week away! Super safe, yet a bit daunting (in a good way). Instructor Emily was outstanding! Great memories.
Totally recommend!"
"The zip wire safari was great fun from start to finish. The instructors were friendly, thoughtful and they really went the extra mile to make our family activity fun. We were a mixed group of teens, adults and slightly more mature. We all felt safe and secure at all times. This thrilling adventure made amazing family memories and we hope to join you again soon!"
