Dogs at Adrenalin Quarry: What to Do With Yours While You Zip

2026-08-26·Liskeard

Short answer: Not really — a zip wire, giant swing and aqua park aren't compatible with having a dog with you, and there's nowhere to leave one safely. Best plan is a split day, with Golitha Falls or the Cheesewring nearby for whoever's walking the dog.

Adrenalin Quarry is a flooded slate quarry with a zip wire, giant swing, go-karting and an aqua park — genuinely good fun, and genuinely not a place to bring a dog.

Why it doesn't work

Every activity involves being harnessed in, in water, or in a kart. There's no practical way to supervise a dog while doing any of it, and leaving one unattended — especially in a car in summer — isn't safe.

Check before you assume

Policies on dogs in the café and spectator areas can vary, so if one of your group is planning to sit out and watch with the dog, worth a quick call ahead rather than turning up hopeful.

The genuinely good alternative nearby

Golitha Falls is a few miles away — free, dog-friendly, and a proper river walk. The Cheesewring and Hurlers stone circles are also close, both free and open moorland.

How families actually do it

Split the group. One takes the dog to Golitha for a couple of hours, the others do the quarry, and you meet at a pub afterwards — The Crows Nest is the obvious choice and very dog-friendly.
