Go Ape-Rivington
Our adventure at Rivington is officially an Enjoy England Quality Assured Visitor Attraction. It's tree-top crossings and lengthy zip-wires take in some Lancashire's most breathtaking views.
You are guaranteed a warm welcome at Rivington. And it's home to one of the most exciting zip wires: You'll cross a bay in the reservoir and get a birds eye view over the water!
With its rugged hills, picturesque reservoirs and woodland bustling with wildlife, Rivington is hailed as Chorley's mini Lake District and makes a great day out.
Review
Go Ape locations are popping up everywhere, and if you ask me, that can only be a good thing. At Go Ape Rivington they care just as much about the surrounding wildlife as they do their customers. At Rivington, Go Apes team of environmentalists identified that there was a lack of ground vegetation for small animals to feed and shelter in. So they planted over 300m of native species hedgerow to provide this. The trees that had be cut down, either because of their diseased condition or in order to construct the course, Go Ape replaced on a three to one basis. The team at Rivington are a great bunch of guys, and nothing is too much trouble, just one of the many qualities we look for here at Top 100 Attractions.
