All-terrain mobility scooters in the Forest of Dean

Explore the Forest of Dean with an off-road mobility scooter

Visitors with permanent or temporary limited mobility can hire one of two ‘Walking with Wheels’ off-road mobility scooters through the Countryside Mobility Scheme.

Off-road mobility scooters (also called Trampers) are easy to use and can tackle a range of surfaces and gradients come rain or shine. You do not have to be registered disabled to hire one.

They can be used to explore:

Maps of the routes will be provided when hiring.

Hire rates 

Price per scooter: £2.50 per hour.

If you are not already a member of Countryside Mobility, becoming one is quick and easy and will be part of your induction (£3 for one-off hire, £5 for 2 weeks, £15 for 1 year). You can then use scooters at around 50 other beauty spots around England.
