WELCOME TO ROCK UK SUMMIT CENTRE

Rock UK Summit Centre is our newest centre which opened in October 2010.

The Centre was formerly known as the Welsh International Climbing Centre and is located south of Merthyr Tydfil in the South Wales Valleys just 10 minutes from the A470 and under an hour from the centre of Cardiff. It is built on the site of the former Trelewis drift mine which closed in 1989. The Taff Bargoed Development Trust then redeveloped the site into a climbing centre in 1997 turning it into an international climbing centre.

The climbing walls are up to 18 metres high with over 180 climbing routes in the main climbing centre plus an additional bouldering area. The centre also has a world class man-made caving system with a waterfall inside it which was reopened to the public 2011.

Rock UK has extensive expansion plans for the centre during 2012 which will include developing the land to accommodate exciting outdoor adventure activities including an extended high ropes course, low ropes and archery and developing the already substantial residential accommodation.

We have been busy developing and extending our range of available activities making the time you spend with us much more adventurous and exciting. Take a look at the range of activities available. We’re making good use of the extensive natural resources in and around the South Wales Valleys and the Brecon Beacons offering activities such as off-site mountain biking, climbing and walking plus water based activities at the Taff Bargoed Millennium Park which will include open canoeing, kayaking and raft building.
