With zip wires 160 metres in length, a hair-raising 17 metre crossing and so much more, you won't leave Wyre Forest disappointed with your decision to get outdoors.

We visited Go Ape in Wyre for my son George’s 6th birthday. I am terrified of heights so was extremely nervous. The team working at the treetop adventure were amazing, giving us a safety briefing, checking my harness many times as I was stressing out. I managed very slowly round the course, requiring some support half way through. I can’t remember the gentleman’s name that helped me, but he made me face my fear and I felt so good afterwards. My son has no fear and did it all without a fuss. He loved the course, the zip wire and it was so easy for him to do independently. It was an experience I will never forget. I would definitely visit again, keep pushing through that fear. The facilities were great, staff friendly and supportive. It’s a beautiful place. A hidden gem

Went to the Wyre Forest today with family members including my one year old granddaughter. Have been to the forest before but not for a while. Due to the current Covid situation parking machines and tea or coffee are only card payments. The toilets are open but not the visitor centre. We walked the yellow route to find the Gruffalo which was an easy trail. The actual Gruffalo trail is not there at the moment but the Gruffalo himself is there. We then walked the green route which was ok with a pushchair but there is an incline on the way back. Lovely few hours spent in the forest.
6. Trimpley Reservoir.

There are several free carparks around Eymore Wood, the one by the water treatment plant is closest to the reservoir. The path to the reservoir is next to the water treatment plant and goes through a wood with a pedestrian crossing over the Severn Valley railway line. It is set in a beautiful wooded valley with a large and small reservoir and borders the River Severn. We very much enjoyed a quiet and peaceful walk.
