A stately backdrop to your Go Ape experience at Normanby Hall. One of our newer locations, this Treetop Challenge and Treetop Adventure course offer something a little different. No two crossings are the same - so you’re going to have to work harder as you navigate each crossing which will push you in different ways. The Challenge course will test you with free falling Tarzan Swings, speedy zip wires and the ever-tricky stirrups. We’ve gone big and bold on the Adventure course too - you’ll find this one higher than our other locations!
3. Messingham Grange

Whether playing as a member or a guest, on your own your own or as part of a larger group or society, we are certain you will thoroughly enjoy this hidden gem of a golf course and the friendly ambience of our contemporary clubhouse. With varied and interesting design features including riveted bunkers', generous raised tee-ing areas and less than 7 water hazards, Messingham Grange's 6033 yard course may be short, but is sure to test your resolve. Undoubtedly one of the most memorable holes on the course is the challenging Par 3 Fourth. The 129-yard hole plays from an extensive raised tee position offering excellent views of the pond, which you will have to carry to reach the green. Our back-to-back Par 4s, the 12th and 13th, measure a combined 842 yards off yellow tees, and with a prevailing head wind, make for two of the hardest holes on the course. These follow the Par 5 11th hole, a dog-leg left, with three bunkers placed between 80 & 120 yards from the raised green.

A group of 10 guys spend a number of days playing golf at the Grange Park golf club in Sep 20. This was a hastily arranged trip due to Covid and our original trip to Scotland being cancelled. Jake and his team couldn't do enough to help us throughout the few days we were there. They put on a great breakfast and lunch and the chef even cooked us dinner. The drinks were plentiful in choice and a good price for a golf club. We stayed in the wooden log cabins, which are located only a couple of hundred metres from the reception/pro shop area. There isn't a lot of choice of golfing supplies, literally some balls, tees and bag towels - so be sure to bring what you need with you. The cabins are very spacious and hold 6 people easily. One of the bedrooms is en-suite whilst the other two bedrooms have a family bathroom to share. A spacious lounge/dining/kitchen area with doors onto a veranda, overlooking the 16th green is nice to chill out on and have a beer. Some of our group were at the location for 7 days and the only negative that came from the group was that they played to the same pin position across all the days. It would have been nice and more challenging had there been some pin alterations. All in all, Grange Park offers a great golfing getaway. I would certainly go back again, as half of the group do year on year for the last 11 years, that says something!!! There are other activities that Grange Park offer, such as camping and fishing, but as i didn't do these, i can't review them (although the lakes looked very clean with big fish in them!)

Had a brilliant trip to Messingham Zoo while passing through Scunthorpe on a return trip to the North. The prices for admission, gifts, and the cafe were very reasonable and the staff were more than happy to offer a guided tour, allowing my children 5yr, 3yr and 1yr to stroke many of the animals and ask tons of questions. The zoo is tidy and clean with handwashing available after handling animals. And most importantly the animals have loads of room and are in great condition showing they are genuinely looked after. A brilliant attraction for the area and count myself lucky to have found this gem and have a visit :) Thank you Messingham Zoo!
