Whinlatter
The dramatic views from the top of Whinlatter Pass are in keeping with the sheer drama of our highest Go Ape location in Whinlatter Forest, over 1000 feet above sea level. This unique landscape inspires many artists, writers and thinkers – could it inspire you to push your physical boundaries on our Treetop Challenge course?
Hit our exclusive trails on an all-terrain Forest Segway. These beasts of the forest floor will take you to vantage points previously inaccessible to all but hardened hikers.

ADVENTURE FANATICS STEP THIS WAY
Winding your way through Thornwaite Forest en route to Whinlatter Forest Park - you’ll get a sense of what awaits you. It’s a breath-taking journey as you travel higher and higher, heading up into the clouds. Be prepared - this World Heritage Site delivers incredible views across the hillsides, forest and fells.
If you felt like you were heading into the sky on the way in, just wait until you hit the high platforms. Savour the feeling of space and mountain air as you travel from treetop to treetop. It’s a pretty special experience from our Forest Segway too, with unrivalled views across Bassenthwaite Lake, Derwentwater and Keswick.
If you’re a keen cyclist then you’re going to love Whinlatter Forest which has been described as ‘putting the mountain back into biking’.
It’s home to the longest purpose-built mountain bike trails in the Lake District and also has a mountain bike orienteering trail.
As well as hitting all the thrill-seeking buttons, Whinlatter delivers big on the family fun too. Hit the WildPlay trail which has nine different play zones or for younger children, there is a fairy kingdom, with secret path and hidden carvings.

My daughter, wife and son went to Whinlatter Go Ape on Tuesday 11th September 2018, they decided to try the Segway tour this time after doing the treetops adventure last year. Their instructor was called Ellie and she did a wonderful job of making sure their group plus a father and son were all safe, included and having fun despite various differences. I believe everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed it and I know my family would love to visit again when we can.
