Located close to Royal Tunbridge Wells, just off the B2079, Bedgebury Pinetum is an award winning visitor attraction. We're nestled in the heart of it. And, our three high ropes courses sit proudly amongst an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Tackle tricky crossings, fly down speedy ziplines and navigate yourself around the forest canopy. If you're looking for an action-packed day out in Kent, Go Ape Bedgebury comes 'highly' recommended.
Definitely one of the better go ape locations. The course lasts around 2 hours throughout a lush forest, staff were super friendly and helpful in calming down scared people. Thank you!
I did not try this time,too old for it compared 12yrs ago,that was in Cockfosters branch. It was lovely to relive tho. We merely just a spectators this time and taking photos instead to our nieces and their friends. It is a high adrenaline activity but really fun,its exhausting but its worth a memories. Have fun,guys! P.S. The staff are all amazing,very friendly especially the one assisted us,thanks a lot!
I have mobility issues and one day there will be no choice, one day I won't be able to consider giving it a go. I spoke with the staff with more detail and weighing up the regret of not having the memories vs what could possibly go wrong. I decided to give it a go. Ooopsie. The safety mechanism works. I know this because, almost at the end, nearly there, I could see the end, there it was, there was me hanging between two shakey bridges. I couldn't have a moment on an easy fix, easy to reach bit of the circuit. No. I like to boo boo properly. It was great with everyone looking up at my bum. Help was needed so a second rescuer joined us. Using all their muscles and a jolly good heave ho, I was back on my feet, queue behind, the clever parents watching from the ground and cheering. Due to the adrenaline I was a bit shakey so Harry guided me through the last little bit. Reassuring me the whole time. Even when I said I feel silly for trying, with a big smile he said 'it was just one step'. Up until then I'd lost count I'd all that went well. I was feeling silly for trying. Not anymore. I'd made it with only one wrong step. The professionalism, the well trained rescue mission was executed perfectly and their ever reassuring presence was admirable. I truly appreciate all they did. Yes I did finish it. My children will always have the memory of doing Go Ape with me long after I can no longer participate. Thank you to the two gentleman (Harry and I believe Freddie was the second rescuer) for helping me when I got in a pickle. You're now very much the heroes in this family story. A family story that made my children laugh til they cried.
We all had a great time in the trees. Fantastic family day out.
Very helpful staff and kids were enjoyed a lot. There is medium and junior go ape for kids who are new to this. But kids over 1.4 meter can enjoy bigger go ape along with adult. Very nice, beautiful park with cycle ride options. Also sandy play area for kids. Lots of picnic benches and cafe to enjoy the park.
It was a wonderful experience, although scary! My family enjoyed the trial so much and they felt they really were challenged. I was actually terrified on the rope bridges connecting the trees- the gaps between the logs felt so daunting and I kept thinking I would fall to oblivion! Luckily we had to wear a harness with 2 extra safety clips. There were 5 sites and each got progressively scarier. If I was to say one thing about this particular course, I would say that, there were many bridges of the same type of thing- with ropes or log steps. It would be good to vary this by having a few different obstacles or bridges across each tree. Like a tarzaan swing or a rope net that you climb across. I liked the wooden tunnel across- things like this would vary it. The team there were so helpful and kind on the ground and would come every now and again to make sure everyone was safe.
