Zip World Windermere
Windermere, CumbriaAbout Zip World Windermere
Set on the shores of Lake Windermere within the stunning Brockhole estate, Zip World Windermere is one of the most breathtaking places in the UK to spend a day outdoors with the family. With the Lake District fells as your backdrop and the lake glittering below, this isn't just an adventure park - it's an adventure park in one of England's most iconic landscapes.
There are three ways to take on the trees:
Treetop Trek
Strap on a harness and navigate 32 obstacles through the woodland canopy - balancing, zipping, leaping and climbing at various heights before finishing with a 250m zip line descent towards the shores of Lake Windermere. Available as a Full Trek for ages 5 and up, or a Mini Trek for younger adventurers from age 3. Adults are very much encouraged to join in.
Bouncy Nets
Suspended high in the trees, the trampoline-style nets are a brilliant option for families who want big thrills without the heights of the full trek. Children can bounce, slide and explore while parents watch from below - it's chaotic, brilliant fun for ages 3 and up.
Treetop Drop
For those who want to face their fears head-on, the Treetop Drop launches you from 46ft up in a controlled freefall to the ground. It's over in seconds but the bragging rights last considerably longer.
Before you visit
- Wear trainers or walking boots with good grip - no open-toed shoes
- Dress to move: covered shoulders and knee-length shorts or trousers (no skirts or dresses on the course)
- Arrive 30 minutes before your session for check-in and safety briefing
- Pre-booking is essential, especially in peak season - time slots sell out fast
- Dogs are welcome on site and must be kept on a lead
- Picnics are welcome - bring your own or grab something from the Brockhole Visitors Centre nearby
