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.

The Zip wires and the cargo nets were definitely the best and the scariest bits at the same time!
Rated 4 Bananas Philippa 15 May 2012
Really enjoyed the experience, we had a family of 5 appear in front of us after doing the 1st course which drastically increased our queuing time, maybe the guides could ensure people follow the course in sequence. I don't imgine this happens often but this was really frustrating. Other than this really enjoyed the experience especially the 2nd Tarzan swing and zip wires. Very re-assuring that the guides were about at the more nerve racking obstacles.

Brilliant felt we were being monitored throughout the course clearly good safety advice felt save and clear on what to do all the way round. Time went so quickly because we were having so much fun.

We booked go ape for my sons 13th birthday and i was dreading it as i have never done this sort of thing before. Our instructor....amy....was great and no matter how many times i asked the same question she didnt mind and allayed my fears. Once i got on the course there was no stopping me. It was a fantastic day out and we all had the best time and its a great way to spend a family day. Thank u all and my friend and i will be back in august
