Visit the award-winning Go Ape High Wire Forest Adventure in Forestry Commission Scotland's Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, near Aberfoyle, Stirlingshire.
Climb rope ladders up into the treetops and experience the thrills of trekking from tree to tree, some 40 feet above the forest floor!
Ladders, bridges, zip wires, trapezes...
The Go Ape course, located at the David Marshall Lodge Visitor Centre, is split into six challenging zones. Both children and adults will love the excitement of taking to the trees and weaving their way through a series of rope ladders, bridges, Tarzan swings, trapezes, stirrup crossings and zip wires.
Aberfoyle has one of the longest zip wires in Britain, measuring 426 metres. Feel the adrenaline course through the veins; challenge your wits as you soar through the forest, way above the trees. Set against this stunning backdrop, a Go Ape visit will provide you with approximately three hours of adrenalin-fuelled fun and adventure.

Note: at the time the clip was made the wire was the longest in Britain. This has since been superseded.
