Go Ape

Go Ape offers up to three hours of tree top fun. It’s a great way to get outdoors and have some fun. We take one lush, green forest and a healthy dollop of breathtaking scenery; blend with a smattering of tree-top high wires, tricky crossings (using ladders, walkways, bridges and tunnels made of wood, rope and super-strong wire) and wind-in-your-face zip wires; and finish off with a liberal dose of people in search of their inner Tarzan.

How to get there:

Go Ape starts at Millwood car park behind the shop in Grizedale Forest Park. Hawkshead is the nearest town or village.

Follow the signs from hawkshead in the north or force mills in the south
