Footpaths

Most of the footpaths at Brockholes are level and surfaced. The kissing gates are accessible for smaller wheelchairs and pushchairs and are shown on the Trail Access Guide.

There is a vehicle access gate next to all kissing gates on surfaced paths. If you use a large mobility vehicle or pushchair you can obtain a key to these gates for your visit. Keys are available from the Welcome Centre for a £10 refundable deposit.

Please note: Where the 3 mile long ‘Discovery Route’ (Yellow trail) passes through Boilton Wood the path is currently eroded and inadvisable for use by visitors in wheelchairs, mobility scooters or trampers. Our Team are currently working to secure funding to repair and enhance this section of path. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will update our guidance once the path is accessible for all.
