GO APE!

THE FEATURE

Go Ape, is the latest attraction to be launched at Buxton Country Park. It uses the same car park as Poole's Cavern and is an award winning high wire forest adventure course of rope bridges, tarzan swings and zip slides.... all set up in the treetops. Here you can enjoy an exciting and fun challenge lasting for approximately three hours.

Although a degree of strength and fitness is required, according to 'Go Ape,' if you can climb up a rope ladder you should be fine. Appropriate clothing should be worn and there are age and size limits, more information can be obtained from the website listed in the side column.

 

A number of other similar attractions are operated by the same company throughout the country, which attract both individual and corporate visitors. Pre-booking is essential to avoid disappointment.

BUXTON

Visitors arriving in Buxton for the first time from the bleak moorlands cannot be blamed for pinching themselves in some disbelief as they emerge into a town with fine parks and grand old buildings. 

At well over 1,000 feet above sea level Buxton is the highest town in England for its size. Close by is the highest village in England at Flash; the highest railway station at Dove Holes; the second highest public house, the Cat and Fiddle.
