The Best Things to Do in Coventry

Based in Coombe Abbey Country Park, Go Ape Coventry is a double whammy of tree top fun and a stunning destination. This Go Ape location is packed with five unique adventures available for everyone from 3 years old!

Go wild on three high-ropes adventures for thrill-seekers who love heights, wobbly crossings and zips. Test your nerve on the 12m free-fall Plummet. Unleash your inner warrior (and any stress) with an awesome Axe Throwing adventure. Little budding rally drivers can even take to four wheels on a Mini Land Rovers experience (don’t worry adult supervisors can sit in the vehicle or walk alongside the vehicle!)

What are you waiting for?

Remember to explore the rest of Coombe Abbey Country Park after you complete your Go Ape adventure!

Steeped in history, Coombe Abbey lies on the site of a 12^th Century Cistercian Abbey and was even a key location in the gunpowder plot. It is also a haven for wildlife, with one of the oldest and largest recorded heron nesting sites in Warwickshire.

Visitors will feel miles away from city-life as they explore 500-acres of grasslands, woodlands, the deer park and open lakes. Plus, there are two purpose-built play areas for the children – one for under 10s and a more challenging Climbing Forest for the over 8s with cargo nets and climbing posts.

Looking for a little luxury? Treat yourself to a stay at the historic 4-star Coombe Abbey Hotel. Coombe Abbey Hotel has housed royals and every bed chamber offers unique character and charm.
