Go Ape Southampton sits in Itchen Valley Country Park in West End, Eastleigh, offering high ropes courses, zip wires and axe throwing among 440 acres of water meadows and woodland beside the River Itchen. There's something for most ages, from entry-level courses for younger adventurers to the challenging Treetop Challenge with its Tarzan Swing and 200m zip wires. A Woodland Café and play areas make it easy to turn your visit into a full day out. Dogs are welcome on leads, parking is available on-site, and the site is largely wheelchair accessible. If you're staying nearby, Southampton Airport Parkway station is just a mile away, and there are 30 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
