Clumber Park Great Big Tree Climbing
Explore Clumber Park's beautiful Pleasure Grounds from the tree tops with The Great Big Tree Climbing Company.
- Booking essential
Using ropes and harnesses, ascend into the canopy of one of Clumber Park's majestic 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 Chapel of St Mary and surrounding 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 years and over, 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.
