Access for All Routes

In the Forest of Bowland we are trying to enable access to the countryside for everyone; especially people with disabilities, limited mobility and people with pushchairs. All the family can now experience the unspoiled beauty of the area along trails with fantastic views, wildlife rich hedgerows and through tranquil woodlands and parklands.

Several trails have been developed across the Forest of Bowland which are easily accessible for people with walking difficulties and pushchairs as the routes do not include stiles or very steep gradients.

Please select a symbol on the map above or make a selection from the list below for the starting point and for details of the tramper trail. For information on hiring a tramper please visit the general Access for All section of the website.
