Forest Segway
Glide Through Swinley Forest
Explore scenic woodland trails on an all-terrain Segway — a unique outdoor adventure for families, friends and thrill-seekers alike.
Experience Swinley Forest in an entirely different way with the Forest Segway from Go Ape. This all-terrain ride replaces the tree-top challenges with meandering woodland tracks as you move smoothly on two wheels.
After your Segway orientation and safety induction, you'll set out to ride specially marked Segway routes through the woodland. From wide tracks to narrow paths, it's a great way to discover one of Berkshire's most scenic woodlands in an entirely new way.
Forest Segway is suitable for children and mature adults over 7 stone, so ideal for children, friends or a single outdoor break. It’s all about freedom, adventure and fun out in the great outdoors.

Anyone who does not meet this requirement may not be able to safely stop the machine which would put themselves and others at risk. The maximum weight is 18.4 stone or 117kg.
