The sunny coast of Cornwall is now for a number of things. Long stretches of impressive beaches, waves that are big enough to surf and the hen-night heaven that is Newquay town centre. What most people overlook, however, is the wealth of naturally beautiful landscapes and alternative activities on offer for a relatively low cost.
Lusty Glaze is a sleepy named cove just north of Newquay that boasts quiet, undisturbed stretches of sand, but don’t let that fool you. The Lusty Glaze Adventure Centre offers a range of action-packed tours to those who fancy injecting a spot of adrenaline into their weekend. One of their offering for die hard thrill seekers is coasteering, a stomach-churning mix of climbing, scrambling, sea-swimming and cliff-jumping.
Expertly trained guides with more than 10 years of experience will get you suited up in all the correct gear and take you out to undiscovered spots for a totally new adventure. Once there, there’s plenty of rock-climbing and scrabbling around the coastline to reach previously undiscovered areas of natural beauty.
It takes a healthy body and a brave soul, but the adrenaline rush achieved when leaping from a 50ft cliff into the ocean is well worth it. Plus, Lusty Glaze promises that if the weather isn’t suitable for coasteering session it will offer an alternative experience of an equal heart-rate raising magnitude, be it surfing, abseiling or kite-boarding.
