experience adventure at Tower

Home to Phoenix zip line, Tower Climber obstacle course and Tower Flyer zip line, Zip World Tower is the 4th Zip World site to open, and is the 1st to be situated in south Wales. Nestled in the Rhigos mountain range, and boasting stunning panoramic views, this adventure hub is situated at the old Tower Colliery coal mining site, and had created a new lease of life for this historic and widely-loved base.

Phoenix is the world’s fastest seated zip line, with 4 parallel lines in 2 separate zip zones. This zip line will see you flying across the Welsh countryside. Tower Climber is an adventure activity course, set high above the ground! The biggest of its kind in the UK. Tower Flyer is a mini zip lining adventure with 3 zipping zones and 2 lines side-by-side, ideal for kids or adults not quite ready to take on the adrenaline rush of Phoenix.

Enjoy the beautiful facilities and refreshments at Tower’s Adventure Terminal, where you can check-in, kit-up, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy the wonderfully restored Colliery site, where old meets new.
