Dinton Activity Centre Indoor wall

Experience the thrill of climbing up to 7 meters high on our unique indoor wall at Dinton Activity Centre. Designed with vibrant, hand-painted murals that capture the beauty of the country park's lakes and woodlands, our wall offers a unique climbing adventure. As you ascend, you'll encounter various scenes of Dinton's flora and fauna, from climbing the triffid emerging from the lake to greeting the owl perched at the top of a tree. This climbing experience combines environmental exploration with the physical adrenaline rush of scaling new heights.

Perfect for Beginners and Intermediates

Whether you're new to climbing or have some experience, our wall caters to all skill levels. No previous experience is necessary, making it an ideal activity for everyone.

With 11 automatic belays, our climbing wall features fun holds and wildlife murals that create an exciting, clip-and-go heaven of exploration. Each session accommodates only 10 climbers, ensuring plenty of space, minimal waiting, and maximum climbing time!
