Get Directions

Sat nav to our locations is not always accurate. Please check your route before setting off and cross-reference with a map.

Driving Directions

Leave the M1 at junction 15 and take the A45 towards Northampton. Take the slip road marked Wootton and take the first exit on the roundabout to cross over the A45. Go straight across the next roundabout, following signs for Quinton. At the next roundabout take the third turning onto Wootton Road. Follow this road through Quinton Village until you reach the edge of Salcey Forest. The main car park is 800 metres on the left (after the kennels).

Public Transport

The number 33 bus goes from Northampton (40 minutes away) and Milton Keynes (1 hour away) to Salcey Forest, stopping just outside the Forestry England Visitor Information Point.

What to wear and bring

Dress for fun in the forest! Closed, sturdy shoes are a must — no heels, slip-ons, flip-flops or Crocs (they might be comfy, but they're not adventure-proof). Keep your midriff covered so your harness sits over clothing, and tie back long hair — we don't want it catching in the treetops.

Oh, and trust us on this one — don't wear white. The forest floor has a sense of humour, and it doesn't play nicely with laundry day. Our adventures are great in all weathers, as long as you're prepared!

Our blog covers what to wear in every season and what to bring for a brilliant day out.
