Gorge Walking
What is it?
Gorge walking, sometimes called Ghyll scrambling or Canyoning is essentially following the course of a steep river. Depending on the activity
level chosen by you and the venue it may include water slides, traversing behind waterfalls, high jumps into deep water and abseiling down waterfalls.
What can I expect to experience?
You will experience the thrill of floating down river rapids, sliding down water chutes, jumping from the top of waterfalls and possibly abseiling down waterfalls. In addition to the exilaration of
all this you will have the chance to see the magnificent scenery and wildlife from an unusual perspective. We have a venue to suit all ages and abilities.
