About Go Ape Matfen

Swing through the tree tops and fly down zip wires whilst lapping up some of the finest scenery in Northumberland at Go Ape Matfen. This was the first Go Ape to be built on the grounds of a country house hotel so, you're blessed with stunning views all around you!

Get your fill of thrills and enjoy your Go Ape adventure experience. Whether you love high-wire adventures, get your kicks from forest ziplines or enjoy stress-busting Axe Throwing, it's an adventure enthusiast's delight!
 
Fun Activities for Thrill Seekers
Mini daredevils will have a blast conquering the thrilling Treetop Challenge, that's for sure! As they soar high in the canopy, with 360-degree views of their forest journey. Home to extreme obstacles like stirrups, the half-trapeze and the free-falling Tarzan Swing, you’ll breathe a sigh of relief when you reach the breathtaking zip line finale - or will you? This course is also home to the challenging skateboard zip, we did say you’d need nerves of steel!

Looking for an equally extreme adventure on the forest floor? Channel your inner warrior and take on the Axe Throwing - just remember you'll need brains as well as brawn to hit that all-important bullseye!

You'll get to soak up all of the mixed woodland scenery and charming village views while you embark on your treetop exploration. It's the perfect outdoor family adventure for kids aged over 10.

Food & Drink
Need to refuel after your epic adventure? Well, you're in luck! There is an onsite cafe loaded up with delicious meals & drinks (hot & cold). There is also a picnic area outdoors so you can munch away under the stunning forest canopy while watching all the vibrant wildlife pass through the forest.
