If you want amazing - we've got amazing!

Our High Ropes Course is a real challenge:

  • Work as a team to climb to the top of Jacobs’s Ladder

  • Walk along beams and wires on the Cat Walk

  • Climb to the top of a telegraph pole and take the Leap of Faith

It requires courage to go up and do it - and trust in those on the ground who are controlling your safety ropes.

With encouragement from your peers it can all be achieved!

Climbing tower

Our 40ft climbing tower will really test not only your head for heights but also your climbing abilities. There are several routes all offering a different challenge.

There is an overhang for those ‘Mission Impossible’ moments and another side with challenging 'natural features' to really test you.

Kayak training pool

We have a specially designed kayak training pool which is used as part of our specialist canoe sport courses.

It can also be used on a centre challenge day in the summer when it is a superb activity to cool off and learn something new. It is complete with slalom gates and we can play a good game of kayak polo to finish a session.

Challenge wall

Work as a team to climb over our challenge wall. Once the whole team has got over it the wall gets higher, and higher and higher. See if you can get your whole team over all 16 planks.

You can cross over a 10,000ft gorge which has an electric fence across the top, get your whole team balancing on the balance beam and there are many other challenges to do on our 15 acres of land.
