Make it a Forest Holiday
Forest Holidays have stunning cabins a short drive away for a true getaway outdoors.
Absolutely! Well behaved dogs are welcome around site but must be kept away from zipwire landing zones and spectators may be required to look after them whilst you are completing the course.
Yes, there is a gift shop and cafe at the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre as well as the Courtyard Cafe, a 5-10 minute walk from site. Within the courtyard you can also find an exhibition space and bike shop for recycled bikes or cycle hire.
Yes, there are accessible baby changing and changing places facilities at the visitor centre. You can find more information on Foresty England's website.
The main paths around site are uneven and the course is set across a large valley with steep hills. Paths are made largely from woodchip or gravel. However, some areas close to the cabin are largely flat. Wheelchairs and pushchairs can access spectator areas around the cabin, Treetop Adventure and the training areas of Treetop Challenge, but this may become more difficult in wet weather. If you have any specific accessibility requirements please contact us ahead of your visit so we can help. You can also find more information on Foresty England's website.
Yes, we have parking next to the cabin although this can fill up very quickly. More parking spaces can be found next to the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre and in the overflow car park a 5 minute walk around the corner. Parking can be paid at a nearby parking metre or at the barrier upon exiting the forest, for more information please visit Foresty England's website.
Yes, we have boxes for smaller items and space for bags and larger items around the back. All items are left at your own risk and we would encourage bigger items to be left in vehicles if you arrive by car.
Toilets are available at the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre, a two minute walk across the road from our cabin. There are no toilets directly on site so please leave enough time to head down to the Visitor Centre before your trip.
Go Ape Dalby is located in Dalby Forest, a 10-15 minute drive from Pickering and Malton. You'll find our cabin a two minute walk across from the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre.
