Days Out

Go Ape Wyre Forest

You'll be up in the dense canopies on the high ropes course. With both a Treetop Challenge and a Treetop Adventure, Wyre is ideal for both thrill seekers after their next rush, and families just looking for a great day out. Both courses are high with some great obstacles and fast zips.
Whether you're looking for family fun, history, culture or just adventure - Wyre Forest has plenty to keep you all busy.
Take the kids over to the children's play area and get them exploring the forest on the Zog activity trail. If they've more energy to burn, take them Gruffalo Orienteering to see if they can find the markers hidden deep in the wood.
Get out and about in the forest. There are three waymarked walking trails and you can bring or hire bikes. Cyclists love this area for the challenging hills and the meandering roads. Head over to the River Severn for some canoeing and kayaking, and while sticking with the water theme you can also try your hand at both coarse and fly fishing.
