HIGH ROPES ADVENTURE
at ROPES and LADDERS
The Snowdonia Ropes Centre

Dares and scares for families, groups or individuals in a beautiful woodland setting. Aerial challenges, zip line, climbing wall, pole climbs, trapeze leap and giant swing. Spectacular views of the mountains and lakes from the top of the highest activity tower in the U.K. Our qualified instructors lead activity sessions of about 2 hours duration with all equipment provided. Conveniently located in Padarn Country Park with a whole host of other attractions nearby.

Your instructor will fit you with your safety harness and helmet before leading you out for your adventure. What happens next is up to you. Maybe the aerial obstacles with balances, scrambles swinging yardarm and drawbridge and that’s only the mid-level. If your confidence is growing maybe the top deck beckons. Stepping from the tower 40 feet off the ground certainly gives space beneath your feet!
Back to the ground: Why not take the express route via the zip line through the centre of the site? Backwards, forwards, eyes closed or open the experience is yours.
Climb up a 35 feet high pole to the platform and leap for the trapeze. Too close? We can always make it further. Climb a pole to join your friends on an impossibly small platform; you’ll have to work together on this one to get “high all aboard”. Alternatively climb our wall with routes to take your first steps and routes to test the most experienced climbers.
Enjoy looking at views? Climb on board the giant swing, up to 3 at a time, and take in the mountains and lakes. You can see them all suspended at 35 feet up. What goes up must come down! An air rushing, clothes flapping sweep of excitement takes you on an express journey to remember as you swoop down through the trees….and up…..and down….
