Set in a great park with 1000 metres of crossings.

There’s no doubt you’ll leave our tree top adventure at Moors Valley Country Park with a monkey sized grin. With two new tree-mendous zip wires and some 1000 metres of exhilarating crossings, you’ll remember this outdoor adventure in the tree-tops.

As the Tourism Attraction Experience of the Year 2009 Winner, Moors Valley Country Park is sure to be a day out you won’t forget.

And don’t forget the adventure does not need to stop there. You can get off the beaten track and enjoy our latest forest adventure with Go Ape! Forest Segway - an epic new experience with a down to earth twist. There’s also our Go Ape! Tree Top Junior adventure for the over 4′s.

Although we were left hanging around a bit when we arrived we great had a really time. We got round the course a lot quicker then we'd anticapated and all felt the price of £30 for a ticket is a bit steep. But we loved every minute of it!
Rated 4 Bananas David 10 December 2011
It was not too easy, but doable. A worthwhile challenge. Very proud to have achieved it, and very happy that my younger ape friends had such a good time too. Also, felt very safe!
Rated 5 Bananas Cianchetta, 1 December 2011
I am really scared of heights so this was a real challange for me, at first I was concerned that we would not be supervised after the 1st course but after getting to the last zip slide I realised that unless you were really stupid you would be safe, in the end I loved it.
