Hailed the mini Lake District of Manchester, Rivington is a perfect location for Go Ape. With its rugged hills, picturesque reservoirs and woodland bustling with wildlife, it has proved to be a hit with adrenaline lovers who enjoy a whole day out. On the edge of the moors, there’s a wonderful sense of wilderness to Rivington Go Ape. High up in this open, spacious site, our Treetop Challenge offers the perfect blend of blood-pumping action and beautiful country views. With 13-metre-high platforms and a brilliant free-falling Tarzan Swing, this is the only Go Ape location in the UK to feature a zip wire over water. Remember to open your eyes and soak up the view of the reservoir!
You really can escape to the countryside at Go Ape Rivington. With its rugged hills, picture-postcard views and bustling woodland this is a great location for some tree-high challenges.
Close to Bolton, 20-minutes from Preston and an hour from Leeds you’ll get a sense of what awaits as you approach. Steeped in history you can admire the two reservoirs and Rivington House Barn which dates back to the 18th century.
Once you’ve got your feet back on firm ground, why not go off the grid for further exploration and fun?
Head into Rivington which is described as one of the prettiest villages in Lancashire.
Rivington Pike is a popular hiking destination and at 1,191-feet above sea level, you can see the Blackpool Tower, Isle of Man and the Lake District Fells on a clear day. There’s also Rivington Terraced Gardens to discover with its hidden paths, caves, structures and lakes.
If all this activity works up an appetite, head over to the historic Great House Barn and Tearoom for some light refreshments.
Footwear must be sturdy and suitable for the outdoors. No sandals, slip off shoes, open toes or heels.

We love the Go Ape course at Rivington. I really struggled with the new equipment though and quite often was more focused on getting the safety equipment sorted than enjoying the course. It’s not great to struggle with the equipment when you’re daring yourself to jump off a ledge at great height! Overall it was great fun though and amazing tree top views. We especially loved the long zip wire over the reservoir and the challenging but exhilarating tarzan swings!
