Bedgebury Reviews

Excellent. Really enjoyed this venue. Plenty of nice long zip lines and there's also my favourite, a Tarzan swing.

We had a blast! It was a bit more physically demanding than I've expected but I managed. Instructors were very supportive and present at all time which makes all the activities fell safe and well organised. I would recommend for all outdoorsy forests lovers!

A super place to visit, great activities to do for the family. Friendly and helpful staff. The location Bedgebury Pinetum is also a good destination, great walk and parks nearby.
