Our high ropes course is an impressive 650m long - with the highest platform standing at 7.5m! - making this the perfect day out for advanced thrill seekers with a good level of fitness. Swing, crawl, balance and zip among the beautiful heights of Hounslow Heath. Our zip trek is our most popular attraction and is made up of 1km of long zips and aerial bridges over the green surroundings of the heath. Each zip offers varying degrees of angle and speed for maximum thrill factor!
Our long dual zip line course near London allows you to speed through the air and get your zip line fix with your friend or partner. Although you’re in the air for a short time, the views and adrenaline rush makes this activity worth it! Whizz down our two 50-metre long, 24-metre high-speed slides! Choose from a near-vertical drop slide or the slightly gentler swirly spiral slide...
These are definitely not your normal playground slides - both are fast, extreme, and thrilling! Slip into a "hessian sack" style protector to help you go as fast and smooth as possible - and down you go... Are you ready to take the ultimate leap of faith? Free jump from platforms of varying heights onto giant inflatable bags. Definitely not for the faint-hearted - this is a free fall with no harness, gear or safety nets needed! Who's feeling brave...? The Gripped treetop net park is the perfect aerial adventure for all! Bounce, tumble and scramble in our huge treetop nets. Even the youngest of thrill-seekers can explore and play among these elevated large jump nets, net tunnels and slides.
With a 150m 2 bounce surface available and the highest net being 6.4m, this treetop adventure is a great addition to your day that brings endless fun. As long as you’re within the age and weight limitations, you’re in the perfect place! The views over Gripped and Hobbledown Heath from the pole house are incredible - do you dare to climb it?
