Go Ape Salcey Forest is a treetop adventure park set in an ancient Northamptonshire woodland, offering high ropes courses and zip wires for families. Younger children can try the entry-level Treetop Adventure, while those wanting more of a challenge can take on the mid-level Treetop Adventure Plus, with crossings, obstacles and ziplines back to the forest floor. There's also an after-dark Sundown Adventure, plus a family activity trail, cycling routes and a play area to extend your visit. Dogs are welcome on a lead but can't join the course itself, and the site has accessible car parking and toilets nearby. Northampton station is 6.1 miles away, and there are 8 bookable places to stay within 5 miles if you want to make a longer trip of it.
