Offering the only full Via Ferrata adventure experience in South England, plus Cornwall's only multi linked zip wire tour, Via Ferrata Cornwall won Gold in the Small Visitor Attraction of the Year category at the prestigious Cornwall Tourism Awards presentation, which celebrated excellence across the industry. On top of this, they scooped the Winner of Winners award.  

Via Ferrata Cornwall offers exhilarating outdoor adventures. One of the leading activities is the Via Ferrata, an unforgettable high wire adventure through historic quarries involving scaling cliffs, balancing across high wire bridges and zip-lining. Offering so much more than just an adrenaline rush, participants get the chance to conquer fears, push their limits, build confidence and make amazing memories. 

Another hugely popular adventure is the Zip Wire Safari, which was launched this year. This sees participants getting to grips with zip-lining in the practice zone and building up courage to take on a series of larger zip wires, where they can fly round the stunning quarry to their heart’s content, conquering fears with every ride! Part way through comes the excitement of traversing across the cliff edge to navigate between zip wires. The zip wires are dual, creating extra fun for participants as they launch off the platforms and soar round together on this unique and exhilarating adventure!

Other activities include watersports, climbing, archery and coasteering, plus there’s The Cornish Barista’s Quarryside Cafe, nature adventure trails and a wild play area.

They impressed the panel in every single aspect of their business – digital, the visitor welcome, facilities, accessibility and sustainability. They were Bronze winners last year and have since gone the extra mile in every part of the business to become genuinely excellent. Relatively new, exceptionally innovative and incredibly impressive..."
