All-terrain wheelchairs are specially designed electric buggies, which can be used on country tracks, uneven ground, mud and grass. They can help people who have difficulty walking, or who may be less mobile, to experience the countryside and to accompany friends and family in the great outdoors. Around one and a half miles long, this circular woodland route follows the Birch Hills trail from Stocks Reservoir car park in Gisburn Forest. Two relatively level paths are linked by slightly steeper sections, so it's a great opportunity to try out an ATW, get used to the controls and see what they can do.
First-time ATW users will receive a full induction before each guided session.
Additional family and friends are very welcome.
(There is a minimum age for use of the ATWs and any under 18s on the walk must be accompanied by an adult.)
Toilets and a cafe are available at Gisburn Forest Hub - just under 2 miles away.
