There is a very high risk of wildfire in the south and west of Scotland from 24 to 25 April. Please plan ahead and check online before visiting.

Breathing in fresh air, surrounding yourself with stunning natural beauty and keeping an eye out for your favourite wildlife can be a great way to recharge your batteries. Whether you use a wheelchair, push a buggy, or even if you thought your exploring days were behind you, we think our forests will have a trail for you.

Our accessible forests

Our all-abilities trails are wide, generally have a uniform surface, and are marked with clear, easy to follow signage. They can often be found at destinations with accessible facilities such as toilets, parking spaces and visitor centres. Blue badge holders can park for free in any of our car parks.

You can see a list of our forests with accessible trails and facilities on forest search tool:

Forests with accessible facilities

We have our own trail-grading system to describe the terrain, conditions and features of each trail. While we are confident that our all-abilities trails will be comfortably accessible to everyone, you may find that some of our easy, moderate or strenuous trails are also manageable.
