Go Ape Rivington offers high ropes adventure in Lancashire, just outside busy Manchester, with 13-metre-high platforms, thrilling tree-to-tree crossings and a breathtaking zipline over a reservoir. The Treetop Challenge takes you through five thrilling sections, each with daring obstacles and five epic zip wires. Beyond the ropes, you can hike to the top of Rivington Pike, explore Rivington Terraced Gardens or enjoy some refreshments in the Great House Barn Café. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on-site, kept on leads, though they cannot join you on the course, and parking is available and free. The nearest station is Adlington (Lancashire) station 1.7 miles away, and with 16 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's well suited to a short adventure-filled stay in the area.
