The all-terrain mobility Tramper

We’ve partnered with Countryside Mobility to offer all-terrain mobility scooter (Tramper) hire.

The Tramper can be used by anyone who struggles with walking, and who can use handlebar steering and hand controls (a short introductory session will be given before use). You don’t have to be registered disabled or have a Blue Badge to use the Tramper. It can simply be that your difficulties are caused by a permanent or temporary condition.

To use the Tramper you’ll need to become a member of Countryside Mobility which then gives access to Trampers at 50 other hire locations. This costs £15 per year, £5 for a two week ‘taster' membership, or £3 for a single day hire. We will sign you up on the day and give you training on how to use the Tramper, which takes around 15 minutes.

The Tramper is very popular so it’s best to book at least three days in advance by emailing parke@nationaltrust.org.uk or leaving a message on 01626 834748.

If you're a first-time user, please read the important medical and health information, and watch the introductory video. Carefully check that the scheme and equipment are suitable for you - you are the best judge of your own ability.

Please also bring photo ID / proof of address. The Tramper is usually hired from the Welcome van in the car park. There are four accessible car park spaces nearby.
