Adventure Awaits..
With flowing rivers & rolling hills, dense forest & wide-open spaces, the wildest animals & the most daring pursuits, it’s no wonder that a visit to Cheshire is on every thrill-seeker’s list. Whether you get your kicks from riding the waves & climbing the walls or roaring through the fields & getting up high in the trees, you’ll definitely hit the spot with an adventure break in Chester & Cheshire.
Adventure down the River Dee in Chester with Paddle the Dee – where you can experience a calm river paddle, or some white-water excitement. If kayaking isn’t your thing, you can also take in some paddleboarding down the Dee.
For high-rise thrills look no further than Cheshire’s many exciting attractions. Test your mettle against the high ropes, obstacles, and zip wires with Vertigo at Carden Park, or climb high into the canopy and take on the Treetop Challenge with Go Ape.
Even the littlest ones (and the grownups!) can have their own adventures at BeWILDerwood, where a magical assortment of muddled mazes, slippery slides, wobbly rope bridges and zip wires await.
Adventure through Delamere Forest, Cheshire's biggest woodland and accessible via its very own train station! Fully loaded with walking trails, segways, zip wires and log cabins amongst the trees, you'll be sure to fullly immerse into this true shady oasis.
And for pure adrenaline-pumping action, head to Hover Force in Frodsham, where you can take the driver’s seat in high-speed hovercrafts, off-road buggies, and more. With everything from target sports to military-style experiences, it’s a go-to spot for thrill-seekers looking for an unforgettable day out.
