Go Ape Moors Valley sits within Moors Valley Country Park in St. Leonards and St. Ives, Dorset, near Bournemouth and the New Forest. You can take on the original Treetop Challenge with its 166-metre zip wire and legendary Tarzan Swing, try the gentler Treetop Adventure or Treetop Adventure Plus, bounce on giant nets in the tree tops, or explore scenic off-road trails on a Forest Segway. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on-site, though they cannot join you on the course, and toilets are located in the visitor centre, less than a two-minute walk from activities. The nearest station, Pokesdown, is 8.3 miles away, with 60 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, making it an easy day trip or part of a longer break.
