Accessible Walking and EBike Holidays
We know how valuable it is to get outside and enjoy time in the peaceful English countryside. We also understand that some guests might need some extra support, to help them enjoy the freedom of a walking or EBike holiday. Our goal is to find ways to adapt our holidays, to help guests with additional requirements to enjoy exploring the National Forest.

Tourism Accessibility Champions
We are delighted to have become Tourism Accessibility Champions, having recently completed Access for All UK training, through a programme delivered by Marketing Peak District and Derbyshire and Accessible UK.
We are the first tourism company in the National Forest to have completed the training. We have also undertaken sensory walking training with Sense.

Peaceful countryside and attractions
Unlike some areas, the National Forest has yet to be discovered by mass tourism. This means that it is quieter, both along the walking and cycling routes and at many of the attractions. This can be especially helpful to guests with hidden needs.
Many of our attractions are small and quiet and some offer sensory displays.
Additionally, a number of the experiences within the area offer adapted sessions for people with additional needs.
