Prepare for the ultimate adrenaline rush. Located at Penrhyn Quarry in North Wales, Velocity isn't just a zipline—it’s the closest you’ll get to pure flight. As the fastest zipline in the world and the longest in Europe, this is a bucket-list essential for any speed freak or adventure junkie.
The Experience
Your journey begins with the Little Zipper. This is your "warm-up" flight, designed to build your confidence and give you a taste of the heights to come. But don't get too comfortable—the main event is waiting at the top of the mountain.
After a rugged quarry tour in a red army truck, you’ll reach the summit. From here, you’ll be strapped into a specialised harness in a head-first, prone position. Once you’re released, you’ll soar over the bright blue slate lake, reaching speeds of over 100mph.
