Excellent fun for parents & teens. Lots of zip wires and other fun sections. We were at the Forest of Dean Go Ape centre which has a lake, cafe & car park right next to it. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was the lack of signage as we didn’t approach it from Blakeney... something which could be easily fixed!

Loved this and it was perfect for my kids aged 4, 5 and 7! My youngest was fearless! The instructors and staff were so friendly, polite, kind and helpful; couldn’t have asked for better service.
