Abseiling and climbing offer a full-body workout, improving strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. These activities also enhance mental focus, problem-solving skills, and self-confidence. Plus they’re a lot of fun! If you’ve ever wanted to learn or you want to practise your existing skills amidst breathtaking surroundings, check out Climbing Cornwall, which offers introductory and more advanced courses, giving you the opportunity to enjoy a climb whatever your ability.

Fancy taking the wheel? Unleash your inner racer on Adrenaline Quarry‘s 800m all-weather track, suitable for adults, teens, and kids from the age of 7. Here, you can challenge your family and friends on the massive circuit, and take home lap-by-lap data printouts. There are also karts for younger children which can be driven on the 80-metre track.

Ziplining gives you the chance to speed through forests or above rolling countryside while secured by a harness to a wire. It’s a great alternative for those who are afraid of the falling sensation you feel with bungee jumping, but definitely not a popular choice for those with a fear of heights! With Hangloose Adventure Eden, you can reach speeds of up to 60 mph over the Eden Project which is bound to get that heart rate up! For all the right reasons!

White water kayaking involves navigating turbulent, fast-flowing rivers aboard a one-person vessel. Both physically demanding and mentally stimulating, this is an activity that perfectly combines the thrill of adventure with the natural beauty of the countryside. You can create unforgettable memories and nurture a deep appreciation for the untamed power of nature during this activity. Try weaving your way through the rivers running off the moors of Cornwall with Shoreline Extreme Sports in Bude.

Last but not least, surfing is one of our all-time adrenaline activities in Cornwall. There are several beaches you can enjoy this sport at, including the most famous, Newquay. However, Cornwall’s southern beaches also boast great surfing conditions, Whitsand Bay, just 17 miles from our award-winning Tregoad Holiday Park is home to Adventure Bay Surf School which has all the equipment you could need and great instructors on hand for lessons.

Whether you’re hurtling down a zip-line, carving through wild waves or tackling a KTM-style go-kart circuit, Cornwall offers a playground for the bold and curious. With the right gear, expert guidance and a confident spirit, those high-octane moments become the kind of stories you’ll still be talking about years from now. So embrace the rush, savour the view from the peak of the stunt, then unwind afterwards with a drink, a fire-lit stroll or just a quiet evening of reflecting on what you dared to do. Your next epic adventure might just be one booking away.
