Tree Climbing Activity Days In Tweed Valley

Altogether a great day out

Wild Tree Climbing is exhilarating and absorbing, allowing you to discover your own strengths in a fun and safe environment. It’s an opportunity to bring children and adults together to share their love of nature, encouraging you to explore the natural world far above the ground.

Recreational tree-climbing is truly unique and while many people climbed a tree a long time ago as a kid, tree climbing is making a comeback – See this great article by Kew Gardens.

Wild Tree Adventures will be something to remember and tell your friends and family about! This is very different to popular high ropes courses like as you’ll have a bespoke experience and a greater level of support, and a chance to explore the canopy of an amazing tree over an extended period.

Our Team

All our Instructors are dedicated, friendly, and trained to make your experience as fun and safe as possible. All the instructors have excellent First Aid, are PVG scheme members and are trained to make our events as fun, relaxing, and safe as possible.

Our Director Tim has brought his experience together to create a new venture bringing tree climbing to southern Scotland. An initial 5 years experience of monitoring rare birds in their nests at height followed specialist training in advanced canopy access techniques with Canopy Access Limited.

Tim’s adventures with trees led him to be an Instructor, and then Operations Manager, for the UK’s largest recreational tree climbing company, The Great Big Tree Climbing Company based in sunny Wiltshire. Tim still works closely with them as a Freelance Instructor and Training Consultant.

TESTIMONIALS

This is a fantastic adventure for kids and adults. We climbed a massive oak tree (myself and my two boys 11 and 16) … You climb the tree in your own time I went up once and sat and admired the view for a while but my youngest boy managed to go up and down three times. The price of the ticket included access to Bowhill grounds which as the sun was shining was great to walk around and there is also a courtyard coffee shop. All Highly recommended.

Ben

Me (47) plus two daughters (13 & 8) had a great time. The rope climbing system is pretty straightforward & instructors happy to help/encourage. Didn’t occur to me to feel anything other than safe. Thrilled to get to the top & just sit for a moment & look at incredible views. Great to find something we could all do together & being outside at beautiful Bowhill made it extra special…Highly recommend to all!

Mel

Such a fun day filming [for ITV] with Wild Tree Adventures at Bowhill today. I’m not great with heights so was super chuffed at making it to the top of this 70ft oak! Big thanks to Tim and Carla for looking after me. Get booked up!
