Take on ‘The Big One’ – Abseiling at Uphill Quarry! Ready to face your fear of heights? Abseil down the towering 150ft cliff at Uphill Quarry near Weston-super-Mare for the ultimate adrenaline rush! Located just south of Weston, on the edge of the Mendip Hills and the River Axe estuary, this former limestone quarry—once a bustling industrial site—is now home to a marina, sailing club, and the ruins of the 12th-century Chapel of St Nicholas, perched dramatically above the cliffs. The adventure begins at the top, where you’ll soak in breathtaking views across the bay before making your descent. With expert instructors guiding you every step of the way, you’ll be kitted out in a harness, helmet, and rock shoes, learning essential rope techniques to safely lower yourself down the rock face. Whether you're taking on ‘The Big One’ for a birthday, charity fundraiser, or a thrilling team challenge, this is an experience you’ll never forget.
