Go Ape Bedgebury sits within Bedgebury National Pinetum, offering high ropes courses, zip lines and a dual Tarzan Swing among the treetops, plus graded forest biking trails for those who'd rather stay on the ground. There's something for most ages, from the original Treetop Challenge for confident climbers to gentler Treetop Adventure and Treetop Adventure Plus courses for younger visitors. Dogs are allowed on leads in certain areas, and the site has accessible toilets and an easy-access trail suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. On-site parking is run by Forestry England on a pay-as-you-leave basis. It's a good half-day or full-day outdoor activity, and with Etchingham station 4.2 miles away and 15 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's easy to combine with a short break in the area.
