The UK has a very diverse landscape, meaning there is plenty of scope for an adventure or two. Every region has its own specialist activities that you can take part in, the areas with wide countryside for instance, offer different adventure activities to those with mountains or wide bodies of water. Wherever you are, you’ll find a huge range of adventure activities to keep the adrenalin pumping and the vast majority of them have accessible facilities, meaning everyone can take part and enjoy a taste of adventure.
Anywhere with a body of water or a coastline will offer activities such as paddle boarding, canoeing and sailing, you’ll be able to do a spot of surfing or body boarding in places like Cornwall, Devon and Wales. Or perhaps you’d rather do some white water rafting? You can do this in various locations in southern England, or if that sounds a little too intense, but you’d still like to experience something similar, heading to one of the many indoor water adventure parks in the country would be a good shout. There are plenty of indoor activity centres offering outdoor experiences, from skiing to tobogganing and more. You’ll find these centres dotted around the UK and these attractions will have accessibility facilities.
Perhaps you’re more into heights, in which case you’ll want to look out for companies offering tree trekking and zip lining, there are organisations offering these kinds of thrill seeking adventures all over the country, with many being conveniently placed near holiday parks and popular family holiday spots.
Rock climbing and cave diving are both popular adventure activities in the UK, you can choose to do these indoors at selected locations, or out in the wild by heading to places like the Peak District, the Scottish Highlands or Snowdonia, where you can join a team to take on mountains or attempt it on your own. Caving can also be done all over the country, a popular choice is visiting Cheddar Caves in Somerset, where you can also enjoy the Avon Gorge and the surrounding area.
It isn’t just aimed at those with active, sporty personalities, ever fancied driving a car around a racing circuit? What about riding a horse? Or perhaps something a bit more extreme, like sky diving, wind walking? Maybe you’d prefer just to take a quick helicopter ride but remain inside the vehicle at all times? These and more are options at sites all over the UK.
