Go Ape Leeds Castle brings high ropes and zip line adventure to the grounds of Leeds Castle in Kent, with obstacles set among the treetops and a castle backdrop. The main Treetop Challenge course features five zip wires, including one up to 250 metres, plus two Tarzan Swings, while Treetop Adventure and Treetop Adventure Plus suit younger or less confident climbers. Axe Throwing and seasonal Sundown Adventures add further options. It suits families and groups looking for an active outdoor day out just off the M20. Free parking is available, dogs are welcome on leads, and booking ahead is recommended as sessions fill up. The nearest station is Hollingbourne, 0.8 miles away, and there are 45 bookable places to stay within 5 miles for those making a longer visit.
