While the Penrhyn Quarry site near Bethesda is built around the headline Velocity zip line, the Fforest site has a different character: a woodland adventure park with a broader range of activities, lower minimum ages, and a family-friendly feel that makes it one of the most popular days out in Eryri. The setting is a managed forest of Douglas fir on the edge of the Gwydir Forest, with views across the Conwy Valley to Moel Siabod.

The Adventures Fforest Coaster The signature attraction and the reason most families visit. The Fforest Coaster is an alpine-style toboggan running on a 1-kilometre rail track through the woodland — the only coaster of its kind in Britain. You ride solo or in pairs on a sledge, controlling your own speed with a brake lever. An uplift tows you to the top; then you fly back down through the trees at speeds of up to 25mph, through twists, dips, and banked turns. Each ticket includes three rides, which is good value and means you can take the first run cautiously and let it rip on the second and third. The coaster runs in most weather conditions (including rain), making it one of the most reliable activities in the area for days when the mountains are out of the question. Minimum age 3 (children under 6 ride with an adult). From £25. Treetop Nets Giant bouncy nets suspended 18 metres (60 feet) up in the Douglas fir canopy — including Europe’s longest net walkway. It is essentially trampolining in the treetops: bouncing, crawling, and exploring […]
