High ropes, fast zip lines and woodland adventure in the historic grounds of Temple Newsam.
Take your family adventure to new heights at Go Ape Temple Newsam, a treetop challenge set within the woodlands of one of Leeds' most historic estates. Just six miles from the city centre, it is a brilliant choice for older children, teenagers and adults who want to trade a typical day out for fresh air, high ropes and a proper confidence-building challenge.
Your Treetop Challenge starts with a full safety briefing and harness fitting before you head into the trees. Once you are up in the canopy, tackle wobbly crossings, rope bridges, climbing sections and fast zip lines as you work your way around the course. It is a high-energy outdoor experience that puts your balance, nerve and teamwork to the test.
The activity is designed to be challenging but rewarding. Take each obstacle at your own pace, encourage the rest of your group and enjoy the satisfaction of completing the course together. Treetop Challenge is suitable for participants aged 10 and over who are at least 1.4m tall, making it a great pick for families with older children and teens.
Younger adventurers can get involved too. Treetop Adventure is an entry-level high ropes experience for children over 1m tall, while Treetop Adventure Plus adds extra crossings and zip line thrills for children aged 6 and over who are at least 1.2m tall.
Make a full day of it by exploring Temple Newsam's historic estate grounds, visiting Temple Newsam House or heading to the rare breed farm and indoor play area. Allow around two to three hours for your Go Ape experience, including check-in and your safety briefing.
