The man who helped researchers gain access to the highest canopy of the Amazon rainforest has now created the UK's first treetop trampoline adventure park.

With bridges, slides, giant trampolines, walkways and tunnels, Treetop Nets allows daredevils to explore the trees while up to 30 feet off the ground. The aerial attraction, set in the beautiful oak woodland of Brockhole near Windermere in Cumbria, is the 16th net adventure park to open in the world, The Daily Mail reports.

The course, which spans over 1,200 square metres, is made of ropes and nets traditionally used in sailing. Participants are surrounded by three-metre-high walls of netting and do not require a harness.

Treetop Net was constructed by Cedric Chauvaud, one of the world's best sailor and rope experts, and his team of seven ex fishermen and sailors.
