A unique way to explore the Forest of Dean as you take on winding trails with our off-road Segways.

Jump on board one of our all-terrain Segways and explore England’s largest oak woodland. Be on the lookout for wild boar and deer as our electric-powered Segways peacefully take on the winding trails.

This is a brilliant experience for adults and kids (over 45kg) alike. Perfect for family days out, getting outdoors with your mates or for some forest ‘me time’. The experience starts with a safety briefing and time in the practice area, then it’s off into the trees!

Forest of Dean Mallards Pike Reviews

Hands down one of the scariest but most fun experiences I’ve ever had.
Hands down one of the scariest but most fun experiences I’ve ever had.
The course is set in a beautiful forest. It feels safe and well-maintained and the staff are welcoming, enthusiastic and focused on ensuring everyone's safety. The course has 5 zones that get progressively more challenging, each ending in a zip line. It is exhilarating and takes some strength and stamina.

We loved the treetop challenge. The staff were great, the course fun and I felt excited and safe the whole day. Mallard’s Pike is a beautiful location, which I’ll definitely be coming back to.
