NATIONAL FOREST attractions and events this summer include: Opening in July, the High Ropes course at Conkers is a dare-devil must with a 70ft zip wire; younger visitors can tackle the Low Ropes through ten different challenges.
This year's ten-acre maize maze at the National Forest Adventure Farm is a fiendishly intricate design of a giant JCB digger that will have visitors puzzling their way around three miles of paths, viewing towers, and bridges
(July 11-September 6).
The Gibbon Forest at Twycross Zoo has four-moated islands and paths into the heart of the gibbon habitat. And there’s the Giraffe Savannah with a viewing platform to see world's tallest animals.
The National Forest Wood Fair (August 31) at Beacon Hill Country Park offers rural fun. See lumberjacks and chainsaw carvers in action, have a go at eco art or hitch a ride on a tree lift.
