We know adventure, but even for us - this is something else. High ropes obstacles and ziplines with a one-of-a-kind backdrop. Start your journey winding upwards where you'll find our cabin and unrivalled views of the Lake District near Keswick. The course takes you past incredible scenery and then deeper into the forest.
While Treetop Adventure and Treetop Adventure Plus are designed for newer and younger explorers, this location is known for being a bit tougher due to its scenic spot.
