Aberfoyle
Located in the picturesque Trossachs National Park, you can expect incredible natural surrounds at Go Ape Aberfoyle.
With a stunning backdrop of mountain and moorland, forest and woodland, rivers and lochs - this dual course really is zip wire heaven.
Home to two of the longest zips in the UK you’ll be flying over trees and waterfalls with unprecedented, seasonal views of the hills, valleys and Highlands.
The start of this Treetop Challenge packs a punch with a colossal 323-metre zip thrill before you’ve even tackled the high-rise challenges. Your reward? A whopping 45-metre-high, 426-metre-long flight back down to earth.
If you like the sound of the zip wires and would rather skip the obstacles in between, our Zip Line Experience may be the activity for you. With two exhilarating rides on our cross valley zips, you’ll experience the best views our course has to offer with this quick zip fix.

A Scottish Highlands Adventure!
Just an hour from Glasgow, Queen Elizabeth Forest Park is located in Trossachs National Park. It’s a mecca for Go Ape pilgrims, thrill seekers, adventure lovers and those who just want to have fun near Loch Lomond.
Get out and about exploring the forest on two wheels. The park is home to Britain’s largest off-road cycle network. Bring the bikes and tackle some of the trails which are ideal for families and mixed abilities.
Put your navigational skills to the test. You can grab a free orienteering map from the visitor centre and explore parts of the forest most visitors don’t venture to.
If all this activity gives you an appetite, then there’s a café to grab some food and drink.
There's also an impressive Lodge Forest Visitor Centre with live CCTV viewing so you can get up close to a wide range of wildlife, and a red squirrel hide within easy strolling distance.
If you’re thinking you’re going to need more than one day to enjoy all this fabulous park has to offer then pack your sleeping bag and tent – there’s a campsite if you fancy staying longer.

Great day out! All the staff couldn't be more helpful and encourage you to take the leap. Next time I'll bring a hat though, it's cold when you're up in the air 😁

We had a great day and can't wait to go back. There was just the right level of supervision from the coaches. We were really lucky that it was quiet so we were able to go round the sites at our own pace. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone!
