Go Ape Haldon sits within Haldon Forest near Exeter, offering high ropes and zip wire adventures against the backdrop of Dartmoor. You can take on the classic Treetop Challenge with its 230m cross-valley zip, suspended bridges and Tarzan Swing, or try the gentler Treetop Adventure designed for younger children. There's also an after-dark Sundown Adventure once a year. It suits families, thrill-seekers and groups alike, with on-site parking, a café, and dogs welcome (though not on the course). The nearest railway station is Marsh Barton, 4.5 miles away, and if you fancy making a longer trip of it, there are 71 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
