Set in a great park with 1000 metres of crossings.

There’s no doubt you’ll leave Moors Valley Country Park with a monkey sized grin. With two new zip wires and some 1000 metres of crossings, you’ll remember this adventure in the trees. Moors Valley Country Park is 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 experience with a down to earth twist.

Plus, there’s our Go Ape! Tree Top Junior adventure for the over 4′s.

Really enjoyed our experience.

Really good fun facilitated by very good instructors.
Rated 4 Bananas Tara 21 May 2012
The 'training' before the real event was so useful and easy to learn, yet essential. Instructor Dan was very good. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. More tiring than I thought it would be.
Rated 5 Bananas Johanna 21 May 2012
I have been to Go Ape at Moors Valley a few times and always enjoyed it very much. I have now made it a regular trip with my Students from Highbury College. We use it as a team building opportunity, giving students the chance to promote their social skills and support eachother through the course. I am also brining my daughter for her 10th Birthday in the next month. Go Ape is a great experience and lots of fun. Not sure I would like to do it in the rain though as I still get nervous even when it is a nice day :) Thank you for making our visit an enjoyable one.
