More about Quarry Karts

• Located at the iconic and world-renowned Zip World Penrhyn Quarry site, Quarry Karts is the UK’s only mountain cart experience, seeing gravity fuelled three-wheelers descend an obstacle-filled 3 kilometre slate track. It all begins with transportation up to the top in our red, military trucks, with the start taking place 1,500 ft above sea level, where you’re treated to incredible views ahead of an intimidating descent that lasts around 3-5 minutes.

  The unique vehicles have a low centre of gravity and a wide wheelbase, making them extra-stable, with hydraulic, independent disc brakes that allow you to slide and drift round corners. Pushing your driving ability to the limit are a series of obstacles including tunnels, chicanes and banked corners, while you get two runs included in your booking – so you can learn the ropes on your first attempt.

  Given the challenging nature of this adventure, it’s only suitable for ages 15+, but it makes it a great choice for team building, stag dos and other group activities, with multiple karts on track at a time. If you love go-karting and driving days, this is a great way to enjoy a similar experience in the truly stunning setting of Snowdonia National Park, with far reaching views of the Ogwen Valley in one direction and the Menai Strait in the other. Just 20 minutes from Bangor and 30 minutes from Conwy, it’s a great holiday activity too.
