Fab afternoon spent mountain biking around beautiful Castle Ward. Bike were ace - they even had a perfect fit for my 6’5” tall husband. The Boundary Trail was perfect for our 14 and 12-year-old so would highly recommend this activity for a family looking an active afternoon out! James was the perfect host -service was quick and efficient and he was really knowledgable. Have booked in for the kayaking tomorrow we were so impressed!

I just had my sons 7th birthday at clip and climb! 10 5-7yr olds - it’s was fantastic! Most of the kids had never climbed before so I was a bit worried but the all had a ball, the staff were always on hand to clip them off and on and I got a key to do it to! There was a great range of walls and all the kids were able to climb!! The kids climbed for 1 hr after half hour getting harnessed up and a short talk which they all enjoyed! The kids were wrecked after it!! I highly recommend this for a party, I’ll be back again next year! Something a bit different and with Macdonald’s on the way home it was the cheapest party I have ever had!! 5 stars - great staff, so friendly & great fun xx

We went to Formula Karting today, and you really cant fault it. Covid guidelines were all adhered to. Its a nice little extra that you get a printed version of lap times and who has won. Really good experience, we'll definitely go back!
