Bude lies at the heart of the Culm Coast, which stretches along the cliffs of North Cornwall and Devon and provides an array of amazingly folded and buckled cliffs.
These smooth slab-like cliff faces are perfect for abseiling. The top of our abseil cliff offers a good flat start and a nice rounded edge to back over before getting onto the smooth slightly angled main face of the cliff. With these faces reaching over 100 feet in height the abseiler has plenty of time to enjoy their descent with the reassurance that the instructor always has them connected and controlled with an extra safety rope.
Shoreline has a dedicated abseil site just north of Crooklets Beach offering a 120-foot abseil down a smooth slabby cliff face. Two parallel abseils are often in operation so friends can abseil down together, reassuring each other as they go. There's always time to walk back to the top to enjoy more descents, gaining confidence every time. This is a great confidence-boosting activity ideal for schools, youth groups, families and friends and we also offer our services for charity events and fundraising activities.
