Tackle the Great Yorkshire Forest

Fierce terrain and far-reaching views makes Dalby an international hotspot for adventurous days out. You will be wowed with our heart-racing adult high ropes course - and because the trees is our business, we designed and built a junior version too, perfect for mini-adventurers. What's more, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with nature to create some of the UK’s most challenging Segway tracks with our Forest Segway Experience.

 

Whichever outdoor activity you choose, you and your Tribe won't be disappointed, our Dalby Forest location is one of seven thrilling Go Ape experiences in the North of England. Make it a full day out in North Yorkshire or swing by for a blast of unforgettable action.

Tree Top Adventure

Our Dalby Forest high ropes course is famous for its epic Zip Wires with three of them crossing a valley 35m above the ground!  Speed through the air with the tree tops at your feet, and soak in uninterrupted views of the valley below. There's more than just serious air-time on this Tree Top Adventure with heart-thumping obstacles designed to challenge and thrill experienced and novice adventure-seekers alike. With 2-3 hours of action-packed adventure it's a day out not to be forgotten.
