Near SouthamptonA beautiful setting within 440 acres of water meadows and woodland at Itchen Valley Country Park.
Our tree top adventure landed at Itchen Valley Country Park in 2011, nestled in 440 acres of woodland and meadows adjoining the River Itchen. The park is an ideal place for a family day out.
A healthy dollop of breathtaking scenery; a smattering of tree-top high wires, tricky crossings and wind-in-your-face zip wires, Itchen Valley is sure to be a hit for any outdoor adventure lover.
