Welcome to Tree Top Trials Highwire Adventure Course

WE ARE OPEN.

More sessions now available, additional Hero session added at 1.15pm as well as the original 2.00 pm

Tree Top Trials is the newest part of the adventure at Craufurdland Estate. Probably…. the best Tree Top Highwire Adventure obstacle course experience in Scotland. It is a family-orientated course with children as young as 5 years old able to participate. This project has been partly funded by Ayrshire Leader.

Tree Top Trials obstacle course is set at varying heights above the ground that is sure to challenge and delight the hardened thrill-seeker,  inspiring and rewarding the carefully cautious, whilst enjoying awesome scenery. Have an adventure in our trees come rain or shine.

Tree Top Trials ideal for families, individuals, hen and stag groups, team-building exercises, school & youth groups, and adventure parties for all age groups.

Challenge your sense of adventure with over 40 exciting high wire obstacles, some up to 50ft high!

You’ll find yourself tackling exhilarating and challenging obstacles such as wind chimes, moving vines, fisherman’s rope bridge, tree top zipline, and of course the terrifying Tarzan swing.

Be assured safety is always at the forefront of our minds that’s why we use a continuous belay system that ensures you make it safely back to solid ground with nothing but happy memories and that wonderful feeling of achievement.
