Climbing and Abseiling at Croyde Bay, North Devon
Come and join the Coastline crew for some climbing and abseiling on the sea cliffs of North Devon. These activities can be undertaken in groups or as a private session offering you some ‘one to one’ attention.
We run our climbing sessions at the sea cliffs at Baggy Point, Croyde and at the Valley of Rocks near Lynton. These two locations provide excellent challenging climbing opportunities.

Rock Climbing and Abseiling for Families, Groups, Stags, Hens, Schools
Test your abilities and learn new skills with the Coastline Sports supervised climbing tours – as always, we will provide all the equipment that you will need as you experience the thrill of genuine sea cliff climbing with nothing but the ocean below you!
Abseiling is the controlled descent down a rope. It is often used to descend from a climb or to access a location that is difficult to reach by other means. Once you’re kitted out with a harness and helmet our instructors will teach you the art of abseiling using your hands and feet for a completely smooth descent………… with a bit of practice!
All of the Coastline Sports instructors have an intimate knowledge of the North Devon area, weather patterns and tide characteristics to ensure that you are kept completely safe while having the time of your life!
Our climbing instructors have the Rock Climbing Instructor Award as a minimum and have lots of experience of Baggy Point and the Valley of Rocks.
We run many climbing sessions every year for families, groups, parties, schools, teams and for stag and hen do's. We run group sessions during the summer holidays, check our calendarto see when we've got trips running and book yourself on to one of them. Alternatively if you would like a private session, get in touch with your requirements and we'll see what we can do.
