Go Ape
If you have an adventurous spirit in your clan take them to Go Ape, a high ropes course in Delamere, Cheshire.
The setting for our adventure on the Cheshire plain is vast and spectacular – Delamere Forest is the largest wooded area in Cheshire, stretching out across over 950 hectares of woodland, wetland and open grassland. Long zip wires and superb scenery from the forest canopy of Blakemere Moss makes this a really exciting trek through the tree-tops. Located near the town of Frodsham, there is plenty to see as you let off steam, escape the crowds and find peace in the heart of the forest for a whole day out.
