Rock climbing and abseiling take you to iconic locations like Stanage Edge or the dizzying drop from Millers Dale Viaduct, where you’ll learn the ropes with expert instructors.

For those drawn to the underground world, caving is an unmissable experience. Descend into a labyrinth of tunnels and caverns, discovering rock formations carved by nature over millennia. Above ground, the mountain biking options range from forest trails perfect for beginners to adrenaline-pumping descents like Jacob’s Ladder.
