Winter Night Abseil Keswick

Take on the ultimate adventure with our Winter Night Abseil in Keswick. This exciting activity lets you descend into the darkness of a Lakeland crag, adding a thrilling twist to your abseiling experience. After dark, meet your instructor at Bowderstone car park in the Borrowdale Valley, Keswick.
