Go Ape at Delamere Forest Park, Cheshire, is a “High Wire Forest Adventure”, featuring ladders, walkways, bridges and zip lines up in the forest canopy.
Visitors are kitted out with harnesses, pulleys and karabiners then let loose on a giant obstacle course in the trees!
Ideal for the Tarzan inside you or even just for monkey-ing around in the tree-tops, Go Ape lets you climb, swing, jump and zip without a lion or big game hunter in sight!
The Go Ape experience is about excitement, adrenalin and breaking out of comfort zones, and above all, great fun.
