Nets Adventure
A playground adventure at Sherwood Pines
Leap, slide and play in giant treetop nets — the perfect forest playground for kids and families.
This is the ultimate soft play adventure with sprinkles of some Go Ape magic, designed with primary-aged children in mind. Come explore a brilliantly fun network of huge bouncy tree top nets spread out over different levels. With giant ball zones, tunnel slides and a whole lot of energy-burning fun, it’s the ultimate active adventure for younger explorers.
One adult goes free for every child under 6 years old and you can save £10 when you combine with our high ropes (T&Cs apply).

Designed with primary-school aged kids in mind, this experience suits everyone from younger ones to the young-at-heart. It’s open to children over 1 year old who can walk unaided. We regularly have toddlers who take part and have a great time, however, the experience may not be suitable when the course is occupied with lots of energetic older children. We endeavour to keep one tree top net to a more relaxed atmosphere, aiming for a safe and fun experience for toddlers. The first sessions in the morning, or last in the afternoon tend to be the quietest.
One adult (18+) can supervise 2 children aged 6 and under and must participate in the activity.
One adult (18+) can supervise 5 children aged 6-15 years old from the course or on the ground.

The supervising area beneath our course is also wheelchair accessible in most areas, however to spectate participants on Treetop Challenge the forest paths can be narrow and uneven.

The car park is managed by Forestry England. Please visit their website for the latest charges. You can pay on your way back to the car after your adventure. We recommend leaving ample time to find a space.
We have space for small items at the cabin, but storage is not secure, so belongings are left at your own risk. We recommend bringing as little as possible and any bags to be left in your vehicle if you arrive by car.
Toilets are located directly opposite our cabin in the Forestry England visitor centre. This is 3 minutes away from the course, so we recommend using the toilets beforehand.
Located near to Robin Hood's infamous Major Oak hideout, Go Ape Sherwood Pines can be found 20 miles from Nottingham. The 100-year-old pines provide a high canopy and although the woodland is open, you'll find our high ropes course nicely hidden within Sherwood Pines. Follow brown signs to 'Sherwood Pines' from Ollerton or the A614. Sherwood Pines is located on the B6030 between Clipstone and Ollerton. Search Google Maps for 'Go Ape Sherwood' for an accurate location (please note Apple Maps is currently inaccurate).
