Family high ropes adventures in an enchanting Northamptonshire woodland
Go Ape Salcey Forest is a family-friendly high ropes adventure in one of Northamptonshire's most enchanting woodlands. Located close to Milton Keynes and Northampton, it is a brilliant choice for families looking to swap screens for fresh air, zip wires and treetop challenges.
Choose from two confidence-building experiences. Treetop Adventure is designed for younger climbers aged 4 to 10 who are at least 1 metre tall. They can tackle suspended crossings, ladders and zip wires at a level made for first-time forest adventurers.
For children aged 6 and over, Treetop Adventure Plus takes the experience up a level. Expect bigger obstacles, higher platforms and more zip wire fun, with trained Go Ape instructors on hand to support your group throughout.
Make a full day of it at Salcey Forest. Explore the woodland walking trails, hire bikes from Grounds Cafe for the 4.5-mile family cycle trail, join the Saturday morning parkrun or stop for food and drinks after your adventure.

Plan an active family day out at Go Ape Salcey Forest, where younger climbers can build confidence in the trees and older children can take on a bigger challenge. With two age-appropriate high ropes courses, woodland trails, cycling and a cafe directly opposite the Go Ape cabin, it is easy to turn one adventure into a full day outdoors.
Treetop Adventure is a brilliant introduction to high ropes for children aged 4 to 10 who are over 1 metre tall. Young adventurers can climb ladders, cross wobbly bridges and fly along zip wires in a woodland setting designed to build confidence and create big smiles.
Treetop Adventure Plus is ideal for adventurers aged 6 and over who are ready for more height, bigger obstacles and longer zip wires. It offers a satisfying next step for children who want more challenge without moving up to Go Ape's full Treetop Challenge course.
Hire bikes from Grounds Cafe and follow the 4.5-mile family cycling trail through the forest. It is a great way to keep the outdoor fun going after your high ropes session.
