About Go Ape Haldon

Against the backdrop of the stunning Dartmoor, Haldon Forest Park is as far south as Go Ape ventures. The Treetop Challenge and Treetop Adventure courses can be found nestled in 3,500 acres of woodland just 15 minutes from Exeter and with Dartmoor as a backdrop for breathtaking scenery.

So, if you're looking for an adventure for thrill seekers and can tackle three challenges like these, then this is perfect for you!

Returning this autumn - Sundown Adventures!

Back by popular demand. Experience tree top thrills in a whole new light across 25 locations for a limited time between 17th October and 9th November. Go Ape Sundown Adventures offer a new level of forest fun in the dark. Become a creature of the night as you climb through the canopy on a high ropes course lit with colourful lights. Test your skills on tree top crossings and experience the thrill of a zip wire ride into the darkness. It's a unique opportunity to enjoy the forest's beauty and experience the adrenaline rush of adventure after dark. The experience takes one to two hours, and the Go Ape team are around to help throughout. It starts with a safety briefing and harness fitting. For ages 6 and up (minimum height 1.2 metres) this is an adventure that will delight kids and adults alike.

3,500 Acres Of Woodland

Against the backdrop of the stunning Dartmoor, Go Ape Haldon Forest is as far south as we venture. Your adventure though is definitely northwards as you scale the heights of the treetops.

A great location for thrill seekers and family adventurers with hilltop to hilltop zip wires and daring high level crossings. You may be deep in the forest but the 360-degree views from your treetop vantage point are spectacular.

Zipping Across The Valley

Experience an adrenaline-fueled adventure amidst the scenic beauty of Haldon Forest on Treetop Challenge.

This exhilarating course features 5 thrilling loops, packed with challenging crossings that test your agility and nerve, including the daunting Tarzan Swing and zip wires up to 230m long!

Treetop Challenge offers an exceptional family adventure, seamlessly blending exciting outdoor activities with the joy of shared triumphs.

Explore Devon

With its many walking and cycling trails it’s a busy park, popular with mountain bikers and walking groups. Take your pick from four walking trails and five high-adrenaline cycling trails. Bike hire is available at the site.

Make a day of it – there are a number of picnic areas or grab a drink and bite to eat in the Ridge Café.

Go Ape is not signposted until you are at the entrance to Haldon Forest Park itself. From the North: There are 4 main roads that lead to the A38 to Plymouth which has the exit sign to"Haldon Forest" (and Go Ape!): M5 Southbound (becomes the A38), A377 (from Barnstaple, which joins the A30), A30 (from Okehampton, joins the A38) and A379 (from Countess Wear and joins the A38 at Kennford). Ensure you are on the A38 to Plymouth when the road splits into the A380 (Torquay) and the A38 Plymouth. The road becomes a steep hill with three lanes. Ensure you are in the left-hand lane before the top of the hill as the turn off at the "Haldon Forest" & Exeter racecourse"(and Go Ape!) sign has no-slip road and is a very sharp left turn. At the mini roundabout turn right and head past the entrance to Exeter racecourse, underneath an underpass and straight on for over a mile. Turn left into Haldon Gateway. From the South: There are 2 main roads from the South: A380 (from Torquay) and A38 (from Plymouth/Cornwall) From the A380 northbound you will find an exit sign to "Haldon Forest & Exeter racecourse" (and Go Ape!) just before a service station. Follow this road straight (signposted Haldon Gateway) over a mini-roundabout, past the entrance to Exeter racecourse, underneath an underpass and straight on for over a mile. Turn left into Haldon Gateway. From the A38 northbound you take an exit soon after a Service station to "Haldon Forest & Exeter racecourse" (also Go Ape) This slip road takes you to a junction where you turn left then straight on for over a mile where you will see a left turn into Haldon Gateway. Please note that the first turn into what appears to be Haldon Hub is actually the Forestry commission offices and has "OFFICE ACCESS ONLY" painted on the road. Haldon Forest and Go Ape is a further 200 yds on the left). Go Ape is at the far end of the car park tucked away.
