All-terrain mobility scooter hire in the Forest of Dean

Visitors with permanent or temporary limited mobility can hire our all-terrain mobility scooter, also known as a Tramper. You do not need to be registered disabled to hire a scooter.

All-terrain mobility scooters:

• can be used to explore Beechenhurst, Cyril Hart Arboretum and Mallards Pike
• are safe and easy to use
• are suitable for anyone over the age of 14, even if you’ve never used a scooter before
• handle a range of surfaces and gradients
• can be used in most weather conditions

First-time users will receive a short introduction about how the scooter works, ensuring they feel confident and comfortable before setting off.
