MANCHESTER'S OWN MINI LAKE DISTRICT
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.

I had a fantastic day here yesterday. The staff were great, they really encouraged us as we were going round and were good fun. I have been to other Go Apes but this was the best so far in terms of all round experience. The zip wire over the water gave us some amazing views.
