Family high ropes adventures with spectacular Lake District views
Go Ape Whinlatter is a high ropes adventure set high in the Lake District, close to Keswick. Surrounded by mountain, moorland and woodland scenery, it is a brilliant choice for families looking for an active day out with a memorable backdrop.
The adventure starts with a winding journey uphill through Whinlatter Forest to the Go Ape cabin, where you will find far-reaching views across the Lakes. From there, take on suspended crossings, ladders and zip wires before heading deeper into the forest.
Choose between two family-friendly experiences. Treetop Adventure is designed for younger climbers aged 4 to 10 who are over 1 metre tall. Treetop Adventure Plus is suitable for adventurers aged 6 and over, with higher obstacles, bigger challenges and alpine-style zip wires.
Whinlatter's hillside setting makes this Go Ape location feel more challenging than some other family courses, so it is a great fit for confident young adventurers who are ready for an extra dose of excitement.
