Go Ape in one of Britain’s largest remaining ancient forests, and take in the sights and smells of the nature that surrounds the course. With its enormous Douglas fir trees, they don’t call Wyre the Valley of Giants for nothing! You’ll be up in the dense canopies on this high ropes course. With both a Treetop Challenge and a Treetop Adventure, Wyre is ideal for both thrill seekers after their next rush, and families just looking for a great day out. Both courses are high with some great obstacles and fast zips.

Treetop Challenge

With its imposing forestry, this setting will have you stepping outside of your comfort zone, challenging you both physically and mentally. The giant Douglas firs are perfect for swinging between as you put a hectic life behind you and test your nerves in nature. Designed specifically for the adventurers, you can be sure that the high-rise zip wires and tough Stepping Stones on this high ropes course will put you through your paces. Suspended high above the forest floor, you’ll test yourself by experiencing the tug-of-war of the Bosuns Chair, or even take it to the extreme with a trip across the Stirrups.

Treetop Adventure

Located deep in the magical Wyre Forest, this spectacular opportunity for exploration is just waiting for you to get stuck-in! There’s no minimum age limit but explorers need to be at least 1m tall to tackle the several hours of high ropes obstacles. This great confidence builder will have you ducking and diving through the Half Noughts and Crosses, flying by on the zip wire and testing your nerves on the wobbly bridges. Don’t forget to have your camera ready as the Flying Carpet is a picture perfect moment. This one will leave you smiling all day.

High ropes in wyre

Leave your busy life behind and escape to the trees in one of Britain’s largest remaining ancient forests. The outlook changes seasonally – during the summer you’ll be getting plenty of sun in the treetops, with winter visits giving a greater sense of height and the location.

Whether you’re looking for family fun, history, culture or just adventure – Wyre Forest has plenty to keep you all busy.

Take the kids over to the children’s play area and get them exploring the forest on the Zog activity trail.

If they’ve more energy to burn, take them Gruffalo

Orienteering to see if they can find the markers hidden deep in the wood.

Get out and about in the forest. There are three waymarked walking trails and you can bring or hire bikes. Cyclists love this area for the challenging hills and the meandering roads. Head over to the River Severn for some canoeing and kayaking, and while sticking with the water theme you can also try your hand at both coarse and fly fishing.
