Peak District’s Best Abseil- Millers Dale Viaduct
Join us for an exhilarating adventure abseiling 90 feet in what is arguably one of the best locations in the Peak District. You can do this as a stand alone activity or combine it with climbing at one of the beautiful gritstone edges.
Millers Dale Viaduct Abseil
This experience is suitable for anyone who wants to have an adventure! No previous abseiling experience are necessary. Minimum age is 5.
This activity lasts for 2-3 hours depending on how many people are in the group. Everyone will have a chance to have multiple goes as we find that once you start abseiling it gets quite addictive :) You can either book this as a stand alone activity or mix and match with our other half day options. Why not try climbing at one of the gritstone edges in the morning and finish the day abseiling 90 feet!
You will do a thrilling abseil at one of the best locations in the Peak District

“This was my first time climbing outdoors and I had such a great time - Dominika was super friendly and enthusiastic and an excellent teacher. I did not expect to learn and do so much in just 3 hours, I was buzzing by the end of the session! Honestly couldn't recommend Peak Lines enough, worth every penny”

Stanage Edge
Rock Climbing at Stanage Edge should be the top of the list of best things to do in the Peak District! Stanage is a fantastic location for a rock climbing experience as there is over 4 miles worth of climbing routes to choose from. Located conveniently near Hathersage, it is a bit of a hub for climbing and accessible from all parts of the Peak District easily.

Harborough Rocks
If you are looking for things to do in Matlock or Bakewell, rock climbing at Harboro Rocks will be a great addition to your itinerary. Located only 7 miles from Matlock and 11 miles from Bakewell it makes a great location for our Peak District Rock Climbing and Abseiling Experience. Limited parking means that we tend to not run our sessions here during Bank Holiday Weekends.

The Roaches
Being one of the main Peak District attractions - the Roaches should definitely be on your list of places to visit in the Peak District! Just a walk around this stunning landscape will give you a great day out but combining it with rock climbing and abseiling will definitely make the day memorable! The Roaches with its smaller neighbour Hen Cloud are popular Peak District rock climbing venues as they have tons of famous routes, perfect for beginner climber or a seasoned pro wanting push their grade.

Windgather
Windgather is a fantastic beginner friendly climbing location. Located less than 5 minutes from the car park - this makes a really good venue for Half Day courses. Windgather is one of Peak District’s oldest Rock Climbing venues and it is popular to this day with climbers and walkers. The parking is limited so we tend to not use this venue with large groups or during Bank Holiday weekends.
