Big Thrills in North London
Tackle crossings, zips and aerial challenges in Cockfosters — our classic high ropes experience for adventurous types.
A world of high ropes adventures waits just a five-minutes' walk from the tube in Trent Country Park. Our self belay Treetop Challenge course has five sections of adrenaline-fueled obstacles with five exhilarating zip wires, including our longest in London. Take on daring challenges like two of our legendary Tarzan Swings and the always tricky ‘stirrups’ crossing.

Yes, dogs are allowed in the park subject to Enfield Council's conditions - please check local signage if unsure. No four-legged friends are permitted up on the course!
There is a cafe on site - Ripe Kitchen - located nearby our cabin and the main carpark. Hours are seasonal, so please check their website for opening times and more information.
There is an accessible toilet near the cabin in the main toilet block, a radar key is required for access. There are baby changing facilities in both the men's and women's toilets.
The main forest paths around the cabin and course are quite uneven in places, making access difficult. Some of the course can be viewed from beneath on the main path. If unsure, or if you have specific accessibility needs, please contact us in advance of your visit so we can help.
Yes, there is free parking located in Trent Country Park - however it can get very busy during peak periods, so please allow plenty of time to find space and walk to to our 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.
Toilets on site are beside the main car park and less than a minute from our cabin. They are run and maintained by Enfield Council. We recommend all customers use them before starting their activity, as the course is quite far away from them.
Go Ape Cockfosters is located in Trent Country Park, Cockfosters. The entrance to the park is on Cockfosters Road (A111), not via Snakes Lane - if your SatNav directs you that way, it is not correct! What3Words for the main gate is ///appear.pans.burn.
We're approximately 6 minutes drive from Junction 24 of the M25, and we're convienient for public transport too - we're less than 10 minutes walk from Cockfosters Tube station on the Piccadilly Line.
