About

Nestled between Windermere and Coniston, in the heart of the Lake District. Our hub in Grizedale Forest packs a punch with both action and adventure. Explore the forest on two wheels with our all-terrain Segways or test your nerve amongst the trees on one of three high ropes’ courses. Grizedale also boasts Zip Trekking Adventure - a series of tandem zip lines that span the forest. Exclusive to Cumbria, it's a haven for zip wire lovers. This 2-3 hour aerial experience is the perfect way to soak in some breath-taking views. A great day out if you're looking for unique things to do.

Treetop Challenge –

This Treetop Challenge is for the true daredevils. Tackle the staggeringly high platforms and tricky tree to tree crossings. Free-falling through the Douglas firs feels particularly heart-stopping at this thrilling location. Take a trip over the busy road below on one of the two speedy zip lines, or really challenge yourself with the free-fall Tarzan Swing. If you’re looking to smash personal goals and have an incredible experience, this is for you.

**Save on your next family adventure when you book Treetop Challenge. All you need to do is enter FAMILY15 at checkout. Terms & Conditions apply.**

Treetop Adventure –

Start the kiddies young on Treetop Adventure - they only need to be 1m tall.

Go Ape Grizedale is home to our only Treetop Adventure which showcases a tiered course and ‘Lobster Pot’ change of height crossing. We guarantee the two awesome zip wires will have the wind in your hair and put smile on your face. A nice little warm-up circuit before you all progress to more extreme high ropes challenges.

Treetop Adventure Plus –

This is the perfect high ropes course for family fun with children over 6-years-old. Whether you’re dipping your toe in high-rise thrill seeking or a confident adventurer keen to get stuck in, this course offers two tiers of action packed fun.

Your hour of treetop exploration will begin with full access to the 3 loops of our Adventure course, the perfect place to build your confidence and test your skills. When you're ready, head for the heights of the Adventure+ extension; trickier crossings, wobblier bridges and an even longer zip wire ride back to the ground. High 5s and big smiles all round as you walk off the landing site feeling like a hero.

Zip Trekking Adventure –

Buddy up for 3km of tandem zip wiring through the Lake District's sky-scaping Douglas firs. Hike your way up to the highest points in the forest and zip down.  Who can scream the loudest on the 500-metres, longest zip?

Forest Segway –

Our Segway experience at Grizedale Forest offers the very best of the Lake District. From breath-taking views of Coniston Lake and mountains to encounters with enchanting waterfalls, our variety of routes ensures there’s something on offer for every ability, whatever the weather. Our stand-on, self-balancing Segway’s are a brilliant way to discover more of the forest than ever before.
