About

Adventure awaits at Go Ape Cannock! Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Go Ape Cannock offers high ropes thrills, stunning valley views, and unforgettable days out in the great outdoors. We truly have something for everyone; with adventures and memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Take on nearly 1,500 metres of tree-to-tree crossings on our epic Treetop Challenge – the longest of any Go Ape sites in the country. It's a test of nerve and balance, high above the forest floor. Great for older explorers (10+) who are ready for two to three hours of unforgettable fun.

Want to build up your confidence? Treetop Adventure is perfect for younger explorers and first-timers still finding their feet up in the trees. Treetop Adventure Plus adds extra height, speed, and challenge for those keen to push themselves a little further.

Prefer keeping your feet closer to the ground? Hop aboard the all-terrain electric Segway which will have you steering through the beauties of Cannock Chase. If the weather permits, we’ll head up to the enchanting Fairoak Valley and Pools for unforgettable scenic views.

  • Eco-Friendly - Our sites are located in some of the UK’s most valuable and beautiful environments and we take our responsibility to care for these areas seriously. When designing a treetop course we work closely with specialists to make sure it has the lowest possible impact on the forest. Our courses are designed to ensure no damage to the living tree – nothing is bolted into the trees, instead we use braces that grip the trunks and our platforms rest on these. These braces are loosened as the tree grows. We also inspect our trees annually to ensure their health. Our courses are also friendly to the wildlife. The wood peel (which is an otherwise waste product from timber processing) creates habitats for small creatures and the undersides of our platforms have provided the perfect shelter for nesting birds! In addition, we recycle as much material as possible.
  • Hen/Stag Dos Welcome
