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

Public Transport

Southampton Airport Parkway is our nearest train station, which is a ten-minute bus followed by a twenty-minute walk away. Get off the bus just after passing Haskins garden centre. Continue along the road until you reach the roundabout. Turn left and follow the road until you reach the entrance to the park. It is possible to walk all the way from the Southampton Airport Parkway to the park, it’s approximately three miles and takes about an hour. A taxi should cost around £10. We also have cycle storage facilities and you can find local cycle routes at Eastleigh Cycle Journey Planner. Alternatively you can get a 20-minute bus from central Southampton followed by a twenty-minute walk.

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.
