Kingswood Peak Venture Situated on the doorstep of the Peak District, Kingswood Peak Venture is the ideal location for a day of adventure outdoors. The activity park is nestled in sheltered woodlands and fields, where your group can take on the high ropes course, the climbing tower and the exhilarating 3G Swing, to name but a few. On the nearby Scout Dike Reservoir, students can put their team-building skills to the test in a raft-building challenge and learn canoeing from highly trained instructors. On-site, you’ll also find archery, aeroball, laser tag, and new fencing sessions led by British Fencing’s Ofsted-aligned ‘We Are Forging Futures’ framework.
