Please aim to arrive twenty minutes before your booking and check in at our cabin first thing.

You can find us using Google Maps at ‘Go Ape Sherwood’, our Apple Maps location may be inaccurate. Please always check the route before setting off, and cross reference with a map. Follow brown signs to 'Sherwood Pines' from Ollerton or the A614. Sherwood Pines is located on the B6030 between Clipstone and Ollerton.
The nearest train stations are a 25-minute bus ride away at Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse (which have direct trains from Nottingham) and an hour bus ride away with one connection at Worksop (which has direct trains from Sheffield). The nearest bus stop is around two miles from Go Ape in Kings Clipstone and then it’s on foot from there. Please note there are no footpaths between the village and the forest, you have to walk on the edge of a fairly busy road.
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.

Both the forest and car park are wheelchair accessible. Accessible toilets are available in the Forestry England visitor centre, opposite our cabin. 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.
