Go Ape Buxton
Located on the edge of this beautiful spa town, our high ropes experience at Buxton is one of Go Ape’s highest. We’re nestled in the heart of the Peak District – adjacent to Poole’s Cavern – which is also well worth a visit.
Go Ape Treetop Challenge is a self-guided, 2-3-hour journey through the forest canopy. It includes a detailed safety brief from one of our qualified instructors before you set off into the tree tops. You’ll get to scramble up rope ladders, tackle tree top obstacles, experience our famous ziplines and take on one of the UK’s biggest Tarzan Swings.
We’re an all-weather activity so forget your glad rags. Old, comfy clothing is your best bet. Dress for the elements. And we wouldn’t recommend wearing white. Trust us. Our woodchip landing sites play dirty!
Grown-up fun in the great outdoors. Take the time to waste a moment.
