Cornwall
segway
If a land-based excursion is more your style, you won’t want to miss the fantastic Cornwall Segway based in Newquay. If you haven’t set foot on a segway yet, you’re missing out! The Segway uses gyroscope technology and self-balances, which means you don’t need to balance the segway, but just control where you want to go. Don’t worry, you will have a chance to practice on their training ground before you set off on a variety of terrains and challenges, and some purpose built Segway routes.

Gravity will launch you into the air on an epic adventure. You’ll barely have time to appreciate the jaw-dropping view as you’ll be dropping back down to Earth in a breath-taking 50mph free fall…

Adrenalin
quarry
Have an unforgettable experience on a very big zip wire over the lake. At 490M long, 50M high & reaching speeds of 40mph, this will be an adventure to remember. The Giant Swing is not for the faint-hearted: it can load up to three at a time, pull you high in the air and then launch you 170ft over the lake before you fall backwards and weightless towards the ground. Then there’s axe-throwing, coasteering and the blob, a human catapult!
