Strapped in above the Eden Project’s biomes, the Skywire hurls you 660 metres at speeds up to 60 mph—96 metres above a reclaimed clay pit. It’s a brief, blistering perspective on Cornwall’s geology, industrial past, and the living domes below.

Then you step, and Cornwall becomes wind: 660 metres of cable unfurling across the former clay pit, 96 metres above ground, pushing you toward 60 mph in a Superman-style flight that gives the Eden Project a new heartbeat.
