About this tour
Lower yourself down Millers Dale Viaduct in the Peak District's limestone country, with unobstructed views across the River Wye valley. This two-hour abseil works for complete novices and seasoned climbers alike, in any weather. All safety kit is provided. Families can join—younger children can watch from ground level—making it equally suited to solo adventurers, group outings, and charity challenges.
Highlights
- Descend a working viaduct with limestone cliffs surrounding you
- River Wye and moorland visible throughout the descent
- No climbing experience required; instruction included
- Runs in rain or shine, year-round
- Flat, accessible walk from the car park to the start point

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at a marked location near the viaduct, then walk a short distance on even ground to reach the descent point. After instruction and fitting of your harness, you'll be secured to the rope system and guided through the technical aspects of abseiling before you begin your controlled drop. The descent takes most of the session, giving you time to enjoy the landscape and your surroundings as you work your way down. Ground handlers and your guide maintain safety throughout.
