High wire forest adventure (minimum age 10) – enjoy 20% off Go Ape prices (Saturdays excepted) when you have a reservation at Pickmere Country Guest House. Go Ape is a giant obstacle course up in the trees using ladders, walkways, bridges and tunnels made of wood, rope and super-strong wire and they have the best zip lines.
The result is spectacular. The Go Ape experience gets the adrenalin pumping, gets people out of their comfort zones and above all, it’s just great fun. So gather your tribe - perhaps it's your birthday, a hen or stag party or you need to organise a corporate team day, or maybe you just want to be like Tarzan and swing through the trees shouting, ‘arrrh-a-arrrh-a-arrrhhhh!'. Book your accommodation with us at Pickmere Country Guest House and go and have some fun.

Knowsley Safari Park was opened to the public in July 1971 by the 18th Earl of Derby. Then, the `safari park' concept of having visitors in cages (cars) and the animals roaming free based on the drive-through game reserves of East Africa was unique. Now visitors can see lions, cheetahs, monkeys, giraffes, zebra, elephants and various antelopes. There are herds of camels, buffalo and white rhino as well as a group of tigers along the 5-mile long route.
