Cavendish car park is central along the trails, it is also the area to start when they have Easter, Halloween and Christmas trails, which are all fantastic for children. There is a café, Ice cream, shop and toilets all at the start of the trail too.
Its best to check out the maps to choose which route is best for you. They also hire mobility scooters which you need to prebook.
The Halloween trail, follows the path from the cafe where you can collect trail sheets. The path is wide and follows the river, the views are just amazing, we really do love this walk.
You can also start at The Priory which also has accessible toilets and parking. The Abbey ruins over looking the river are beautiful. It does get really busy on sunny days with people having picnics and swimming in the river.
Good wide paths and well surfaced on the wheelchair friendly routes. Some of the paths have some ascent but only gentle on these paths.
There is toilets available along the route, at The Abbey car park, Cavendish car park and The stride car park.
