We deliver a large range of outdoor activities. You can choose from:

Rock climbing, Abseiling and Weaselling - the Peak District is a Climber’s Paradise. Climbers come from all over the world to climb on the famous gritstone edges of Stanage, Burbage, Froggatt and the Roaches, to name a few. When you book a climbing activity with DC Outdoors, these sublime rock faces are our playground!

Canoeing, Kayaking and Stand Up Paddle-boarding - nestled in the Peak District flows the water of the River Derwent and we explore the beautiful stretch from Darley Dale to Matlock on our river trips. We guarantee beautiful scenery and sometimes the odd gentle rapid! In addition, there are the canals; a short section at Cromford and the glorious Peak Forest canal. Both offer plenty of options for adventure, fun and learning during short or full day trips.
