BIG Peaky Weekender: Let’s Go Ape at Buxton!
Do your best Tarzan impression and join OutdoorLads for a morning social, swinging through the trees at Go Ape Buxton's Treetop Challenge.
Go Ape Buxton is a high ropes treetop adventure, with zip lines, rope swings and a variety of challenging platform crossings in the beautiful Peak District National Park. Go Ape Buxton boasts the biggest Tarzan swing and highest platforms of all the UK Go Ape locations, with fantastic views of Buxton and the surrounding countryside.
Our treetop adventure will last approximately 2.5 to 3 hours after which we will likely pop into Buxton for a coffee or lunch and explore some of the Buxton offerings such as Pooles Cavern before heading back to site.
