A high-wire adventure for thrill seekers who want to get their adrenaline-kicks in super quick time. For adults who are short of time but still want a dose of thrill.
Heavy duty all-terrain Segway + spectacular off-road trails = possibly the most fun you can have on two wheels in the woods.
Tree houses, netted walkways, bouncy nets full of inflatable balls ALL 30 feet above the forest floor.
A 12m free fall toward the forest floor. The Plummet is an adventure junkies delight! Located at selected sites only. Purchase as an extra on your Treetop Challenge at cabin or as an individual activity.
Big, high, fast zips. Don't look down zips. Scream if you want to go faster zips. We love them and we know you do too. So whether you are short on time or just short on thrills check out the NEW Zip Line Experience at selected locations.
An exciting new activity, available at Go Ape Coventry and now Go Ape Matfen. Get back to your roots and channel your inner warrior with an hour of stress-busting axe throwing.
Experience the thrill of zip wires in the dark!
Feel the anticipation build on the long winding approach to Go Ape Grizedale which nestles between the lakes Coniston Water and Windermere.
Even by our standards, these are super high courses but the stunning views across the incredible Lake District, with mountains and lakes as your backdrop, are worth the inevitable increase in heart rate.
Grizedale Forest is a haven for zip wire lovers. Each of the high ropes courses offer seriously long flights but the king of forest flying is Zip Trekking Adventure – a spine-tingling 3km aerial adventure. Once you’ve unhooked yourself from your tree high travels why not try one of the 10 walking trails ranging from 1 to 10 miles.
If you’re feeling fit head up to the highest point in Grizedale Forest which offers a spectacular 360-degree view of the Lake District fells.
Bring or hire bikes. There are several cycling routes, some on forest roads and others for more extreme cyclists.
Keep your eyes wide open – Grizedale is the home to the largest site-related ‘Sculpture in the Forest’ exhibition in the country.
Pack up a picnic or grab a drink and a bite to eat at the Visitor Centre tearoom.
Really good family fun.

What a great set up. Staff were excellent and the process from start to finish was professional. Our safety talk was given by Josh who was great with our boy who happens to have Down's Syndrome. The group we started with were patient and understanding and Josh was great when the situation got a little too much for our lad. Highly recommend the experience and think we will go and try the Zip Wire Experience next. Thanks for a great experience.

Great day out with kids. Not cheap but worth it. The tree top adventure was excellent. Challenging enough for an adult with a 12 and 13 year old. Staff take safety seriously, which sets right tone. Would deffo return. Can’t imagine it would be enjoyable though if raining. Choose your day wisely!

My daughter (8) and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Grizedale Go Ape. On a beautiful sunny day, attentive and happy staff (who actually seemed to enjoy their job) greated is on arrival and were very helpful throughout the hour we spend scrambling around 3 levels of tree top fun. Each level completed one after the other and the rest of the time spent on whatever level suits the individuals preference! All very safe and I’d recommend for all with or without climbing experience although if you’re scared of heights you may want to think twice!
