Go Ape Buxton is set high in the hilltops of the Peak District, the UK’s oldest National Park, offering unbeatable views and adrenaline-fuelled adventure for you and your friends to experience.
Tackle One of the Uk’s Highest Go Ape Courses
As one of the highest Go Ape courses ever created, Buxton invites you to climb, leap, and zipline through the treetops while taking in spectacular views of Buxton town and the surrounding countryside. One of the highlights is a massive Tarzan Swing where you launch yourself from the platform, experience a thrilling free fall, and crash into a giant cargo net.
Treetop Challenge
Visitors can take on the Treetop Challenge, an exhilarating high ropes course with epic zip lines. Suitable for ages 10 and up.
Peak Disctrict Adventures
The journey to Go Ape Buxton is an adventure in itself, with scenic routes winding through the stunning Peak District National Park. Perfectly located within walking distance of the historic spa town of Buxton, and less than an hour from Sheffield, you’ll have a full day to explore England’s largest and oldest national park.
Take in some of the region’s best walks, such as Mam Tor and The Great Ridge, both offering breathtaking views across the Peak District. For sweeping views of Buxton, hike up Grin Low to discover Solomon’s Temple, a Victorian folly built on a Bronze Age barrow. You can also delve underground at Poole’s Cavern, one of England’s most impressive limestone show caves and the first “Wonder of the Peak.”
After your adventures, head back into Buxton itself. This elegant spa town is renowned for its Georgian and Victorian architecture, beautiful ornamental gardens, and, of course, its famous thermal springs.
