Absolutely amazing experience with me and my 8 year old daughter who loved it. the staff were amazing and helpful, so much fun for an hour. We will definitely be going again. I made a video of this with different camera angles, just search for Go Ape Beechenhurst on YouTube

Really enjoyed our afternoon spent amongst the trees. Freya's instructions gave us the confidence to get around the course. We were able to take the course at our own pace. Lots to challenge us as most of the group were fearful of heights; we achieved such a high after making it all the way round which lasted for days. Friendly staff, reassuring to have them nearby if needed. Beautiful location.

Went to go ape today at mallards pike Forest of Dean to do the tree top challenge. I was part of the 11am booking my name is Rose. The two fellas that were supporting us how to do the challenge were amazing! I struggled from the start, but every so often they would shout out encouragement and offering support. I really felt like I couldn’t do it , but my family and their support I completed it. These guys made the entire experience better, for that I’m truly thankful. Sorry I can’t remember their names
