What to Expect...

Get ready to climb, balance, zip and swing through the treetops at Go Ape Chelmsford Hylands Park. Set within the grounds of Hylands Estate, this outdoor adventure is ideal for families, friends and groups looking for an active day out near Chelmsford.

Choose the adventure that fits your group. Treetop Adventure is made for younger explorers aged 4 to 10, with low-level crossings, ramps and zip wires for a confidence-building first experience in the trees. Treetop Adventure Plus offers a bigger challenge for ages 6 and over, while Treetop Challenge is the high ropes experience for ages 10 and over, with tougher obstacles, speedy zip wires and the chance to take on the Tarzan Swing.

Prefer to keep your feet on the ground? Archery Tag brings the competitive fun, combining dodgeball-style gameplay with bows and foam-tipped arrows. It is a brilliant choice for birthday parties, older children and group adventures.

Arrive at least 20 minutes before your booked session so you have time to park, check in and complete the safety briefing. Booking ahead is recommended, especially for weekends and school holidays. Parking is available beside the Go Ape cabin in Writtle Car Park, with charges applying between 9am and 6pm.

After your adventure, make more of your visit to Hylands Park. Explore the gardens and parkland, visit the castle-themed play area, or stop at the nearby cafe for food and drinks.
