Matfen
Our first adventure to be built in the grounds of a country house hotel, Go Ape at Matfen Hall is nestled within one of the UK's most unspoilt areas of natural beauty. Located just 15 miles west of Newcastle in the charming village of Matfen, swing through the trees and fly down the zip wires while lapping up some of the finest scenery in Northumberland.
Matfen is also one of our few Go Ape locations built on deciduous trees, 30ft-high in the treetops. With a mixed woodland scenery, it will seem fresh and different each time you visit. Designed to push you hard, this Treetop Challenge has high platforms, super speedy zips and stomach-churning Tarzan Swings. Be warned - if you’re coming during the summer months, when the leaves are dense, you’ll hear the screams before you see the course!

HEAD TO THE WILDS OF NORTHUMBERLAND
Just 20 minutes from Newcastle you’ll find the National Park and a World Heritage Site. Matfen has a couple of Go Ape claims to fame - it’s our only course with treetop crossings and activities designed and dedicated to local landmarks and it’s our first adventure to be built in the grounds of a country house hotel, Matfen Hall.
Once you’ve challenged yourself physically in the treetops and have your feet firmly back on the ground why not make a day of your time in the beautiful Northumberland countryside?
Head over to the picturesque village of Matfen with its lovely village green, stream and a pub if you fancy grabbing a bite to eat.
If you’re up for more physical activity Matfen Hall has a superb 27-hole golf course which is recognised as one of the finest in Northumberland.
If, on the other hand, you are physically done for the day then perhaps treat yourself to a relaxing session at the local spa.

Absolutely fantastic day out! We decided to go to Go Ape at Matfen Hall to celebrate our business being open 10 years. The guys were absolutely brilliant, everything was organised so well and we all had a fab day out. We had a wide range of ages taking part from 10 years old to 63!! It was brilliant, I would highly recommend this for a team building day, family party or just a fun day out :) Thanks again to the team at Matfen for looking after us and making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back!
