By Car: Go Ape is located within Haldon Forest Park, around 15 minutes from Exeter. Please note – Go Ape signage only appears once you’re at the entrance to Haldon Forest Park, so it’s important to follow the directions below carefully. Parking is managed by Forestry England. Charges apply and the site is cashless – pay by card or phone. For the latest parking information, please visit the Forestry England website.
From the north: If you’re travelling southbound on the M5 (which becomes the A38), or coming via the A30, A377 or A379, make sure you stay on the A38 towards Plymouth. When the road splits, take the left-hand lanes to remain on the A38 (not the A380 to Torquay). As you approach the top of the hill, get into the left-hand lane early – the exit for “Haldon Forest & Exeter Racecourse” comes up quickly and is a very sharp turn with no slip road. At the mini roundabout, turn right and drive past the Exeter Racecourse entrance. Continue under the underpass and straight on for over a mile. You’ll then see the entrance for Haldon Gateway on your left.
From the south: If you’re heading north on the A38 (from Plymouth/Cornwall) or the A380 (from Torquay), follow signs for “Haldon Forest & Exeter Racecourse”. You’ll pass a service station shortly before your turn-off. From the A380, follow the signs straight ahead at the mini roundabout, past the racecourse, through the underpass and continue for just over a mile before turning left into Haldon Gateway.
By Bus: The 360 bus from Exeter Bus Station to Bridford stops at Haldon Belvedere several times a day (except Sundays and Bank Holidays). Please see the Traveline timetable for times or phone Traveline on 0871 200 22 33. You can then join the trails through the woods, from the layby.
