The Whitby venue is located over the river Esk with incredible views across Whitby Abbey from the top point.

The Larpool Viaduct is considered one of the UK’s few bridge bungee jumps and one of the best bungee jumping experiences in the country.

The venue is only minutes away from Whitby’s busy sea front and with the Yorkshire moors and Yorkshire coast close by, so once you have taken the plunge, you can reward yourself with some delicious fish and chips.
