THIS IS OUR MOST POPULAR ACTIVITY…
Across all 8 Manor Adventure sites, nothing gets more reactions than High Ropes.
At Lockerbie, it winds through the woodland… climbing, balancing, pushing confidence higher and higher — finishing with a zip line drop through the trees.
Would you go first?

8 centres. One Manor Adventure!
From the Shropshire hills to the Scottish Borders, the Norfolk lakes, the Isle of Wight coastline, Wales, and beyond into northern France… this is Manor Adventure from above.
Every site is different. Every landscape unique. But the experience is always the same — confidence, challenge, and adventure.

Summer evenings are made for campfires!
you and your friends playing games, singing and laughing together and when the light fades it is time to stoke the fire up and roast some marshmallows. Bliss.
