Go Ape's Chelmsford site in Hylands Park offers three high ropes courses: Treetop Challenge with fast zip wires and tough obstacles, Treetop Adventure Plus for mid-level confidence-building, and Treetop Adventure for younger adventurers over 1m tall. All include tree-to-tree crossings and a Tarzan Swing. Archery Tag, a foam-tipped arrow game like dodgeball, is also available. The site sits within Hylands Estate, a grade II listed historic park. Dogs are allowed in signposted on/off lead areas. Parking is right outside the cabin.
