Sat nav to our locations is not always accurate. Please check your route before setting off and cross-reference with a map.

Driving Directions

Take the A322 through Bracknell, Easthampstead. Follow the brown tourist attraction signs for The Look Out Discovery Centre. We're opposite Coral Reef. Please cross reference your route with a map, due to our rural location sat navs are not aways accurate. Please note, tickets purchased in the Go Ape car park are not valid for other car park sections.

Public Transport

There are direct trains from London Waterloo to Bracknell. Buses run from Bracknell bus station (opposite the train station) to Hillberry, a 10-minute walk away, including the 171 and 172.

What to wear and bring

Dress for fun in the forest! Closed, sturdy shoes are a must — no heels, slip-ons, flip-flops or Crocs (they might be comfy, but they're not adventure-proof). Keep your midriff covered so your harness sits over clothing, and tie back long hair — we don't want it catching in the treetops.

Oh, and trust us on this one — don't wear white. The forest floor has a sense of humour, and it doesn't play nicely with laundry day. Our adventures are great in all weathers, as long as you're prepared!

Our blog covers what to wear in every season and what to bring for a brilliant day out.
