The perfect day out destination
“Huge playground, you can easily spend a couple of hours here. There’s a good mix of parts suitable for younger and older ones. Epic forest vibe, some really high parts and hidden sections. The cafe and shop across the river are very nice, making it the perfect spot for a good day out.”
“Wow wow and wow! If you’re ever in the area, pop in for a visit, there is nothing that will disappoint. What an amazing place, the kids will love the adventure park, you’ll love the beautiful shop, and if you’re brave enough, Go Ape is right there too.”
