Go Ape Aberfoyle sits in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park on the edge of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, near Stirling. The highlight is Treetop Challenge, a high ropes course reaching 22 metres up, starting with a cross-valley zip wire over 400 metres long, followed by six sections of crossings and Tarzan swings into cargo nets. You can round things off with Axe Throwing set against the forest backdrop. It suits thrill-seekers, families and groups looking for an active day out, with a cafe and accessible trails at the nearby visitor centre, though the course area itself isn't wheelchair accessible. For a stay nearby, there are 53 bookable places within 5 miles, with Arrochar & Tarbet station 13.1 miles away.
