Adventure times for North Yorkshire
AN adventure attraction is coming to North Yorkshire’s Lightwater Valley.
The Lake District’s Treetop Nets is expanding near the Ripon theme park.
It will include giant trampolines, walkways,slides and tunnels suspended up to 40 ft from the ground.
Treetop Nets, part of Treetop Trek Ltd, was launched in June 2014 winning the Best Tourism Experience at last year’s VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.
Building is due to start on site this month, with the attraction scheduled to open in the summer.
Mike Turner, owner of Treetop Trek Ltd said: “As Treetop Nets continues to expand, it’s great to finally find a site which is already well established as a visitor destination.
“More than 55,000 people have already enjoyed our first attraction in Cumbria and we wanted to give others the opportunity to experience it.
“We’re really looking forward to bringing a new level of adventure to the area and can’t wait to see our plans come to fruition.
“Four new jobs are being created and we’re looking for people with a good head for heights to apply and help us make Treetop Nets a must-visit attraction in Yorkshire.”
Mark Bainbridge, general manager, Lightwater Valley theme park, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing only the second course of its kind in the UK to Lightwater Valley.
“It’s a fantastic addition to the successful attractions which are already here. The theme park and the Jurassic Adventure Golf course both enjoyed increased visitor numbers year on year.
“We know Treetop Nets will drive more people from across the region to North Yorkshire and make Lightwater Valley a must visit destination for all the family.”
