Adventure Parks & High Ropes in Preston
If you fancy something more active than a walk in the park, the choice within a drive of Preston runs from ropes courses to full-on paintball. Rock & River Outdoor Pursuits, out at Ormskirk, has high ropes and kayaking on its lake from £5.50, plus a mini course for five to seven year olds. A longer trip out to Prescot gets you Delta Force Paintball Liverpool, from £9.99, with Hollywood-themed zones and a gentler Miniball option from age 7. Out at Bacup, Wood-Sage Outdoor Education runs booked sessions of open fire cooking and outdoor games from £70. For younger children, Rock & River's mini course is the obvious starting point, and it does food on site if the ropes work up an appetite. Older kids and adults will get more from the scale of Delta Force or a proper session at Wood-Sage, though both need booking ahead and Wood-Sage takes small groups only. If you just want free, open-air space to run about without booking anything, Blackleach Country Park in Manchester has paths and a lake to walk, open around the clock, though there is no high ropes element there.
