Features

Sundown Adventures: Sundown Adventures is a brilliant, one-of-a-kind experience for groups. From an after-work adventure with a twist to a unique activity for youth groups, our events team will help you plan every step. Start with our short form for larger bookings or private hire. Experience unforgettable high ropes thrills after dark at Go Ape Whinlatter, in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Back for select nights between 25th October and 9th November 2025, our illuminated Sundown Adventures let you climb, swing and zip through the treetops under a canopy of lights.
Treetop Adventure Plus: Treetop Adventure Plus is all about the 'more'. More speed, air, freedom, height, and thrills for young adventurers. It's a step up and extension to our popular Treetop Adventure high ropes course, so children need to be at least 1.2m to participate. Participants will have full access to the Adventure loops of the course to find their feet, hone their skills and have fun. When they feel ready, it's time to hit the heights of Adventure Plus and the additional loop. The extra loop goes further into the treetops, with more challenging crossings. This turns up the adventure and the fun, finishing with their biggest zip-wire ride of the day back to the ground.
Treetop Adventure: Treetop Adventure is an adrenaline-filled high ropes activity aimed at younger children. It has intricate tree-to-tree crossings, wobbly bridges and brilliant zip wires for kids, all designed for young adventurers over 1m tall. Kids and parents love Treetop Adventure as it pushes children outside of their comfort zone in a safe environment. The continuous belay system means that participants are always attached to the safety wires.
Forest Segway: Climb aboard one of our all-terrain Segways, for some unrivalled Cumbrian views. Our exclusive trails will take you to incredible vantage points where you can soak up the sights from Skiddaw to Helvellyn. Probably our most scenic Segway Safari and still fun if enveloped in cloud!
