Big Tree Climbing
Explore Wimpole Estate from the tree tops with The Big Tree Climbing Company.
- Booking essential
Using ropes and harnesses, ascend into the canopy of one of Wimpole's largest trees, and enjoy an exhilarating adventure at new heights.
During your climb, you will learn how to safely reach the top of giant trees and take in the views of the parkland. You can hang out in the canopy or venture further out onto the branches if you're feeling brave, before returning safely to the ground.
This activity is suitable for ages 6 to 100, and each session is run for up to 8 people, creating a unique and intimate experience. We encourage the whole family to participate, or feel free to watch and photograph that special moment of your child climbing high into the canopy of a tree for the first time.
Each ticket admits one climber, and for any climber under 18 years old admits one accompanying adult. No children may be left unsupervised during this session.
