UK Breaks: Ideas That Are Anything But Boring

There’s nothing like exploring somewhere new, but that doesn’t have to mean hours and hours travelling. Getting to know some of the UK’s beauty spots might just be the reset you need.

Whether it’s a holiday to a daycation, take your UK getaway up a notch with a Go Ape adventure. Having 36 nationwide locations, from Devon to Scotland to the Forest of Dean to the Lake District, means you’re bound to find one nearby. In fact, our only Zip Trekking Adventure in Grizedale Forest might just be the bucket-list worthy experience your next staycation has been waiting for. 

Start with incredible scenery. Throw in leg-wobbling obstacles, metres-high zips and rope ladders high into the trees. Your holiday just went from a few days away to the trip you can’t stop talking about.

Family holidays

Schools out, adventure is in. Sessions fill up fast, so get your bookings in early. Go Ape is the place you won’t hear “I’m bored” this summer with our high ropes and adventures for younger explorers:

Mates trips away 

Finding a day everyone can do in the calendar is hard (vote in the group chat anyone) – so when you’ve got one, make it worth it. Treetop Challenge, the original Go Ape high ropes adventure, for one afternoon will you give enough funny stories for years to come.

Getting a group together? Axe Throwing is a great way to chat and cheer each other on as you take you turn at the target, whilst Archery Tag is the games you’ve missed with an added layer of thrill.

• Treetop Challenge – 33 locations
• Axe Throwing – 9 locations
• Archery Tag – 3 locations
