The main paths around the site are uneven. Wheelchairs and pushchairs can access the cabin and spectator areas, but some forest paths may be challenging. If you have any specific accessibility needs, please contact us before your visit so we can help.
Yes, there is parking right outside the cabin. It is chargable between 9am and 6pm. It is pay and display or with the MiPermit app. Please note the machine only accepts cards. In summer the parking can be very busy so please allow extra time to find a space. If there is an event at Hylands Park you might have to park in the overflow which means a longer walk to the cabin.
Customers can store belongings with us, but it is at their own risk and Go Ape takes no responsibility for items left in the cabin. It is first come first served and during peak periods, there may not be space for large items.
The nearest toilets are in the Writtle car park less than one minute walk from the cabin. There are more toilets located at the takeaway cafe a minute away, and even more toilets at Hylands house courtyard.
Go Ape Chelmsford is located in Hylands Park, just outside of Chelmsford. We are located in the Writtle Carpark of Hylands house, just off Greenbury Way A414.
