Mobility hire at Cardinham Woods

Explore Cardinham Woods with an all-terrain mobility vehicle

We’ve partnered with Countryside Mobility (a charity initiative, operated by Living Options) to offer an all-terrain mobility scooter (“Tramper”) for hire. The Tramper is available to any visitors aged 14+ with limited mobility. You do not have to be registered disabled to hire a Tramper.

Trampers are safe and easy to use, even if you’ve never used a scooter before. All first time users are provided with a short introduction by our rangers to make sure you know how the Tramper works and feel safe and confident.

Email us or call the Rangers' Office on 01208 76787 to find out more and book your Tramper.
