Ancient Empire - Valley of the Giants

Cost

No Charge

The Valley of the Giants site includes a boardwalk through a grove of veteran tingle trees known as the Ancient Empire. This area contains the Giants for which the forest was named. Some of the trees are up to 16 metres in circumference at the base. The boardwalk meanders around and sometimes through the old trees. As well as giving visitors a different perspective on the shapes, sounds and movement of the forest the boardwalk is designed to protect the tingle trees from the damaging impact of large numbers of visitors. The first section of the Ancient Empire is suitable for assisted wheelchairs.
