Quarry Karts: Experience Quarry Go Karting in North Wales

About Quarry Karts go karting adventure

Located at the iconic and world-renowned Zip World Penrhyn Quarry site, Quarry Karts is the UK’s only mountain cart experience. Quarry Karts sees gravity fuelled three-wheelers descend an obstacle-filled 3 kilometre slate track with twists and turns. Experience far reaching views of the Ogwen Valley in one direction and the Menai Strait in the other. Penrhyn Quarry is conveniently located just 20 minutes from Bangor and 30 minutes from Conwy.

It all begins with transportation up to the top of the quarry in our red, military trucks. The start takes place 1,500 ft above sea level, where you’re treated to incredible views of the Snowdonia mountain range. Then, you face an intimidating descent that lasts around 3-5 minutes.

Pushing your driving ability to the limit are a series of obstacles including tunnels, chicanes and banked corners. You get two runs included in your booking – so you can learn the ropes on your first attempt.

The only location for mountain karting in the UK, Quarry Karts is a truly one of a kind adventure. People travel from all across the country and internationally to come and experience this thrill.
