Zip World
Are you brave enough?

The nearest Zip World attraction to Glyn Tawe Outdoor Centre is Zip World Tower, located in Hirwaun, near Aberdare in South Wales. Situated approximately a 45-minute drive from Glyn Tawe, it offers a thrilling escape into adventure, making it an ideal choice for a day trip.

Zip World Tower is nestled on the historic site of the former Tower Colliery, a location rich in industrial heritage and surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Rhigos mountain range. It is home to a variety of exhilarating experiences, including Phoenix – the world’s fastest seated zip line – which gives visitors the chance to soar across two zip zones at incredible speeds while taking in breathtaking views of the Welsh landscape. Another key attraction is the Tower Coaster, a unique two-seater ride that weaves through the site at thrilling speeds. For those looking for a challenge, the Tower Climber provides a multi-storey adventure course suitable for both adults and children, while the Tower Flyer offers a more gentle zip line experience that’s perfect for families.
