ver felt like indulging your inner-Tarzan? If so, then swing down to Conkers in the heart of the National Forest, Leicestershire, for the best in tree-top adventure.

And the best thing is that it doesn’t matter if it’s chucking it down with rain or beaming with glorious sunshine, Conkers’ indoor and outdoor experiences are there to be experienced regardless.

Those with a stomach for heights should tackle the simulated tree top walk but be sure to take a deep breath before crossing the moving bridge.

There are also plenty of hands-on interactive exhibits in the Discovery and Waterside Centres to entertain and educate the little ‘uns. For teenagers there’s a challenging assault course to put those muscles to the test. With such a full range of activities, it’s guaranteed to tire out even the keenest sugary drink-fuelled bean.

And to wind-down after all that jungle fun, sup on a delicious milkshake at the stainless steel 1950s American diner that has unbelievably ended up in the National Forest, all the way from Massachusetts.

With costumed waitresses, booths, and a jukebox chock-a-block with top tunes, it’s so authentic you’ll wish the family car had fins 'n' chrome and everyone was wearing leather jackets. Well, everyone except Dad.
