Children's Bikes and Scooters at Westonbirt Arboretum

Children's bikes and scooters

Children's bikes and scooters are a brilliant way to help little ones explore the arboretum.

We allow children aged 7 and under to ride bikes and scooters in the arboretum if they are under 75cm from floor to handlebars. 

Measuring bike and scooters

Are your wheels under the limit?

Before you arrive please measure the bike or scooter to double check it is under 75cm from floor to handlebars to avoid disappointment.

On arrival our staff will ask you to measure the bike or scooter by pushing it under our height limit sign. 

If the bike or scooter is over 75cm your child will not be permitted to ride it around the arboretum. 

A metal structure which you can push a bike or scooter under to determine the height - allowed in if under 70cm.

Wheelie safe riders

  • supervise children at all times and encourage them to slow down or walk in busy areas.
