This outdoor activity centre in Staffordshire hits all the fun and adventure buttons against a backdrop of stunning valley views.
In an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty you’ll find the longest combined crossing of any Go Ape location with nearly 1,500 metres of tree-to-tree crossings on our Challenge course.
The Treetop Adventure course is ideal for children (and adults) to find their tree legs and build their climbing confidence.
If you’re a ‘keep your feet firmly on the ground’ kind of person, you can enjoy the breathtaking views from the comfort of one of our off-road Segways.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
If your session is between Friday 9th May and Sunday 11th May, please be advised that various sections of Penkridge Bank Road will be closed over the weekend due to roadworks.
If accessing us from Wolverhampton via Pottal Pool Road - diversions will either send traffic turning right from Broadhurst Green Road and then left to Brindley Road, or turning right onto Marquis's Drive and then left onto Birches Valley Road. Diversion signs state "Road Closed/No through route". Go Ape customers should still carry on down the road, as our location can be accessed.
If accessing us from Cannock, signs on Pye Green Road/Brindley Road state "Road Ahead Closed". Customers can ignore these signs and continue down to Birches Valley Road.
If accessing us from Rugeley, customers should travel through Etching Hill and access Penkridge Bank Road from Shooting Butts Road.
A map of the closures can be seen on the One Network website. Please plan your journey in advance and leave additional time to arrive ready for the start of your session.
