The Zip World Quarry Tour is the perfect experience for anyone who loves a bit of adventure mixed with history and breathtaking views. It's a guided tour that takes you on a journey through the iconic Penrhyn Quarry, one of the most impressive slate mines in the world.

Hop aboard the iconic red ex-army truck and settle in for a 60-90 minute experience that will take you up a 3km slate track, winding through the heart of the quarry. You’ll be treated to panoramic views of the World Heritage Status location, all while learning about the rich history of this fascinating site. From its origins as a slate mine to its role in the local economy, there’s so much to discover.

As you travel, your knowledgeable guide will stop at key spots, sharing fascinating facts about the quarry’s past and the natural beauty surrounding you. Whether you're learning about the quarry’s history or taking in the incredible scenery, there’s never a dull moment.

The journey ends with a relaxing stop at the Blondin Restaurant, where you can enjoy a warm drink and locally-baked cake while gazing at the stunning floor-to-ceiling views of the quarry. It's the perfect way to wind down after an exciting tour.

This Zip World Quarry Tour is a fantastic gift experience for someone who enjoys learning about and exploring new places.
