NEW LOW ROPES ACTIVITY

We are delighted to launch a new activity here at Deer Park - a new low ropes course.

The low ropes is a team building activity, helping participants learn about team work, problem solving and cooperation, whilst developing their trust, balance and coordination.

We know this one will be popular so get your bookings in early to secure your preferred days/times.

"Just a note to say how much Kempsford Brownies enjoyed last night.  I think they enjoyed geocaching the most and they soon got to grips with the device.
Thanks again and hope to see you soon for zip wiring."
