Discover the history of the quarry and explore the cavern and tunnels. For those that dare finish with a 150ft abseil down into a disused green slate quarry.

Extreme Ghyll Scramble - Not for the faint hearted! If swimming in crystal clear pools, scaling waterfalls and massive jumps (up to 8m) are your thing, this full day adventure will be right up your street.
