Above the Pines: Corby’s 6‑Metre Aerial Assault Ends on a 41‑Metre Zip Wire

Aerial Assault and Golf sits at Iron Pit Woods Adventure on Geddington Road, just outside Corby in Northamptonshire, England. It’s a compact outing that stitches a 6-metre-high aerial assault course into the canopy above an 18-hole woodland adventure-golf layout, giving you adrenaline and easygoing play in a single 90-minute booking. The course is built over mature woodland; wingy steps, see-saw planks and a variety of wobbly bridges lead from platform to platform before a 41-metre zip wire drops you back toward the clearing. Harnesses and helmets are supplied, and a short safety briefing and fitting begin every session. Two full circuits of the high ropes take around 60 minutes and finish on the zip wire; the remaining time can be spent on your choice of outdoor games—9- or 18-hole golf, FootGolf, or Disc Golf—spread across fairways carved through the trees. Because the ropes sit six metres above the ground, the course favors people comfortable with height and balance. Minimum height is 1.2 metres (1.3 m recommended), maximum weight 115 kg, and participants must be at least eight years old; young children need to be accompanied by a paying adult. The operator limits groups to ten participants per slot, so sessions feel focused and managed rather than crowded. Open seasonally from March through October, Aerial Assault and Golf is a summer weekend staple for families, birthday groups and corporate teams looking for a short, high-impact outdoor experience near Corby. It’s also convenient for visitors who want to pair a quick burst of adventure with a relaxed round of woodland golf without changing venues. The setting is straightforward Northamptonshire mixed-wood—beech, oak and stands of plantation conifers—so wildlife glimpses can include squirrels and woodland birds while you wait on the platforms. Practical details are simple: arrive 15 minutes early, wear suitable footwear and clothing, and expect to follow staff safety rules without exceptions. The course is closed November to February except for pre-arranged group bookings of five or more. Those who dislike heights should opt for the golf options only; the ground-level courses still capture the same treed character. Aerial Assault and Golf is a good fit for people who want an accessible, well-run ropes course paired with casual play. For a short trip that squeezes a clear rush into a half-day itinerary around Corby, it’s an efficient and well-located option. Bookings are made online through the operator's FareHarbor page; arrive ready to participate and expect staff to fit you into the right harness size. The course is popular on warm afternoons and during school holidays, so book early. If you’re planning a corporate group or birthday party, ask about private-session options and group discounts to secure a consistent start time and detailed directions.
