Wyre

(Worcestershire)

Near Kidderminster

Set within one of Britain’s largest remaining ancient forests.

Half the species of UK butterflies and moths can be found in this unique forest.

Our tree top adventure at Wyre Forest is home to some of the most ecologically significant woodlands in England. Wyre Forest is cared for by the Forestry Commission so there’s plenty going on for you and your tribe to plan a whole day with us. So why not enjoy some outdoor activity, taking in tree-top crossings, wind-in-your-face zip wires and high wires, in one of Britain’s largest remaining ancient woodlands.

You can take in the sights and smells of the statuesque oak and fir trees that line the course for a great day out, or even make a weekend of it and explore the 6000-acre forest.

“Oo oo ah ah” …  Don’t forget to enjoy a cuppa in our very own Forest Cafe.

It was a great experience to enjoy with my friends, we had a great laugh and enjoyed reflecting on our experience over a cheeky pint afterwards. The zip wires were awesome and just completing the course makes you feel like you have conquered any fears that you may have had. Thank you go ape.

It was a great experience! The only downside was that me and my girlfriend are quite capable of challenges like these and we were stuck behind a hen part of around 20 girls who were taking ages, so we spent more than half the time stuck behind them, which really detracted from the enjoyment of the day. The challenges themselves were great. We should have been allowed to pass them though, in the early stages of the course.

I came along with my hen party, we were all a little nervous but very quickly got into it. We really enjoyed it we were a real mix of abilities and ages but we all completed it. Loved it!

The staff were all excellent and the experience is good fun. I do think the experience could be improved a little if there was something that could be done to cut down the delays whilst waiting for slower climbers - and also if some of the challenges were a little more challenging for those who've been a couple of times. Maybe if these were added as alternative routes too (as is the case for a couple of challenges) it would kill two birds with one stone as it would give more experienced apes an opportunity to speed passed some of the slower participants. Also, the Tarzan swing is by far the most fun, so maybe more than one swing could be added?
