Fun Activities for Thrill Seekers
Treetop Challenge is Go Ape’s original and most popular high ropes adventure. In 2-3 hours, you’ll tackle more than 35 crossings - no mean feat - before you consider the challenges ahead. Rope bridges lead up to wobbly stepping stones, free-falling Tarzan swings and a ‘spiders web’ to shuffle your way across. Are you up to tackling this high-wire adventure?
Ready for the main thrill? Strap in and zip your way over the bay of Lower Rivington Reservoir. It’s a true spectacle, not to be missed! It's a hit with adrenaline lovers! Rivington has even won the label of one of Lancashire's ‘must visit' locations - so what are you waiting for?
