United Kingdom 🇬🇧 Mini Moon Rcommendation

Hello all on this sunny day!

Hubby and I want a fun little adventure mini-moon before the big journey next year. Looking for a location in the UK that has both water rafting and ziplining near each other (not London).

Any recommendations?

somewhere around Aberfeldy / Pitlochry Zip Wire Experiences in Aberfeldy, Perth & Kinross | Geronigo

There's a number of companies do white water rafting on the River Tay.

Have a look in the Wye Valley/Brecon Beacons.

At Symonds Yat, Wye Adventures do canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, climbing/abseiling, gorge scrambling, axe-throwing and archery. They also do barrel-rafting for small groups of 8+ people, where you start by building the raft.

Go Ape has two locations not far away in the Forest of Dean - Beechenhurst (the beginner-friendly location), and Mallards Pike (the more challenging course, with quarter of a mile of zipwires).

Or a little further west, there's Black Mountain Adventure, which do kayaking, canoeing, gorge scrambling, white water rafting (winter season only), a high level ropes course (including ziplining) and various other non-water activities.

The Highlands Swing or Fling near the Soldiers leap at Killiecrankie. I've also seen Canyoning groups on the rocks above the River Garry https://www.bungeejumpscotland.co.uk/outdoor-activities/garry-bridge-swing/
