Access for all trails

Trampers

The Tramper is a specially designed four-wheel drive all-terrain electric buggy, which can be used off road and even on rough ground, mud and grass. It enables people who have difficulty walking to experience the countryside, woodlands and lakesides; and to accompany friends and family when out walking.

Please ensure you are accompanied when using the Tramper, as some sections of the route include gates, and are remote. You should also take warm and waterproof clothing as the weather can change very quickly. Please also note that some of the trails include sections of public highway.
