So, having just visited Go Ape in Swinley Forest, Bracknell we noticed to our surprise that Bracknell itself is a kind of a centre for all sorts of leisure activities. Here are just a couple that we saw on our drive by (in addition to The Lookout and Go Ape):

• The Point Leisure Complex. In this complex you have a bowling alley, a cinema, bingo, two nightclubs (‘Stabbings’ and ‘Toxins’), and if this website is to be believed, even a casualty unit.

• Bracknell Ski & Snowboard Centre. An outdoor carpeted ski slope where, unsurprisingly, you can ski and snowboard. But you can also go Sno bobbing, Sno-tubing and if you’re up for it, do a Cool Runnings and ride down the toboggan track.

• Golf. Driving ranges and golf courses.

• Coral Reef. Pools, saunas, fitness rooms, and even a small flume ride.

• South Hill Park Arts Centre with a year round programme of theatre, music, dance, film, exhibitions, workshops and courses.

But here’s a parting thought for you, according to the same website above one feature of Bracknell often highly praised by visitors is that it is extremely easy to leave … hmm.
