The Real Outdoor Xperience
A bookable lake-and-land activity centre at the Cotswold Lakes, with outdoor sessions suited to families and groups wanting more than a lakeside stroll. Activities and age requirements vary, so choose a specific experience and check the latest safety and booking details.
Opening hours
Pre-booked sessions; activities are seasonal and weather dependent. Check the operator’s current calendar, age limits and arrival information.
Location: Lake 12, Cotswold Lakes, South Cerney, Gloucestershire
ROX at Lake 12 is the place to choose when one member of the group wants a paddle and another wants to stay on dry land. The water programme includes kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding and sailing, while land activities range from archery and bushcraft to high ropes, raft building and an escape room. Pick a particular session rather than arriving expecting every activity to be running at once.
For families, the breadth of choice is the attraction: a first-time paddler can try an instructed activity, while older children or a group of friends might prefer the ropes or a team challenge. Check age limits, supervision and what to wear on the booking page for the exact session. Some activities are seasonal or depend on conditions, especially those on the lake.
The Lodge café overlooks the water, giving non-participants somewhere to pause and everyone a meeting point afterwards. ROX also runs school, holiday and private group activities, so check whether the date you want is a public session or a special programme. Allow time to find Lake 12 in the wider Cotswold Lakes area.
