We recommend booking ahead online, though you can try at our cabin on the day. Make sure to check the activity’s requirements first, including age restrictions and supervision ratios. Please aim to arrive twenty minutes before your booking and check in at our cabin first thing. You can save time by having your group sign their Risk Acknowledgement beforehand, check your inbox for the link.

Sat nav to our locations is not always accurate. Please check your route before setting off and cross-reference with a map.
Do not follow the brown Go Ape signs as these will take you to Mallards Pike (our other Forest of Dean location). Search and follow directions to Beechenhurst or Beechenhurst Lodge in your sat nav instead of the postcode (due to our rural location these are not always accurate). Look out for ‘Beechenhurst’ or ‘Sculpture Trail’ brown signs then ‘Forestry England Beechenhurst’ signs when you arrive.
The nearest railway station is at Lydney Station which is nearly 9 miles from Beechenhurst Lodge. You can get the 1-hour number 24 bus from Gloucester followed by a 10-minute walk. This stunning location is quite out the way, so a little harder to reach by public transport than some of our other spots.
What to wear and bring
Dress for fun in the forest! Closed, sturdy shoes are a must — no heels, slip-ons, flip-flops or Crocs (they might be comfy, but they're not adventure-proof). Keep your midriff covered so your harness sits over clothing, and tie back long hair — we don't want it catching in the treetops.
Oh, and trust us on this one — don't wear white. The forest floor has a sense of humour, and it doesn't play nicely with laundry day. Our adventures are great in all weathers, as long as you're prepared!
Our blog covers what to wear in every season and what to bring for a brilliant day out.
