Swing into Spring at Go Ape in Scotland

Go Ape is encouraging Scots to live life adventurously this Easter holiday at the outdoor forest adventure experience.

Go Ape’s Tree Top Adventures in Aberfoyle, Peebles and Crathes offer the chance to hang out in the trees, where you can explore the forest from a new perspective and experience nature in the tree canopy high above the ground.

Visitors can unleash their inner Ape in the great outdoors, flying down zip wires, leaping off Tarzan swings and navigating obstacles, crossings and rope bridges set amidst some of the country’s most breath-taking scenery.

Go Ape’s Aberfoyle adventure in Stirlingshire, located in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, is home to two of Britain’s longest zip wires, each stretching over 400m long, flying people 150 feet above the ground and over a 90 foot waterfall. The course also features two giant Tarzan swings, two high speed cross-valley zip lines and a bold skateboard zip wire.

Go Ape Peebles is built on the hillside within the striking Glentress Forest and takes advantage of the valley for some jaw-dropping exposure and challenges the laws of gravity with the highest zip wire in the country, located above a magnificent reservoir. With crossings over 3,000m long, it’s an epic adventure.

Go Ape Crathes in Aberdeenshire is located in the landmark grounds of the enchanting 16th-century castle and features a skateboard zip wire. With turrets and towers, winding staircases and ancient sculpted yew trees; historic Crathes Castle’s 595 acre estate offers a fantastic day out.

Go Ape prices range from £33 for a gorilla (aged 16 and over) to £25 for a baboon (aged 10 to 15). For further information and to book a Go Ape adventure visit www.goape.co.uk
