Buxton
(Derbyshire)
Near BuxtonOne of our highest adventures, close to a 2 million year old natural limestone cave.
Our Buxton adventure is set in the heart of the beautiful Peak District National Park and within walking distance of the historic Spa town itself.
If you fancy yourself as a bit of an explorer, you could also visit the adjacent Poole’s Cavern, a 2 million year old, natural limestone cave. Now that’s ancient.
The result at Buxton is spectacular. A day out at Go Ape will unleash your inner Tarzan, get you having fun and above all, leave you with a big monkey-sized grin.
