Things to do in Suffolk: Go Ape Thetford Forest
Thetford Go Ape is home to the very first Go Ape. Situated in the stunning Thetford Forest, you're guaranteed a thrilling outdoor activity.
Where the Go Ape story first began in 2002 and now the one, two, three of forest fun with Treetop Challenge, Treetop Adventure, Treetop Adventure Plus and Forest Segways. Thetford Forest Go Ape is a great course for holding a surprise party or event.
The long, windy drive deep into the centre of the forest sets the scene for this Go Ape location. Tall trees and dense forest provide an ever-changing seasonal backdrop and if you come in summer, the Rhododendrons are a striking sight.
This stunning location has loads to offer for both the thrill seekers and the ‘need to get the family out and about seekers’. If you’re one of the former and enjoy going off the beaten bike track then head for the bike trails – there’s one which is described as having ‘severe, challenging and extremely difficult features!’
There are also a number of other cycling routes more suited to family riding, plus running and orienteering routes.
Cleverly designed in a horseshoe shape, the fun unfurls as you navigate your way along the treetop crossings. The dual course nature of this forest location and the new slackline crossing means you can dial up the challenge or keep it sure but steady.
