Super Trampers

Need a little extra help to enjoy some of the Peak District’s most stunning scenery? No problem! Just take a trip on one of our Trampers (pictured right). These all-terrain mobility vehicles are safe and easy to use - and are perfect for enjoying more of the National Park.

Tour our level, tra c-free trails, visit villages or explore our accessible Miles without Stiles routes.

Trampers are ideal if you have limited mobility or additional mobility needs, if you’re recovering from health issues or want to explore further but may not manage a longer walk or bike ride.

No action is needed with your feet but twist-grip hand controls feature on all Trampers – allowing left or right handed use.

rated, allowing you to keep up with accompanying bikes, and all of the range have variable speeds to suit your comfort and confidence. This year has seen six new vehicles join our fleet, thanks to support from from Defra’s Access for All fund.

To make the most of your Tramper experience, our team provides a full demonstration before you set o – and they’re happy to advise on suitable routes. Plan your Tramper adventure at www.peakdistrict.gov. uk/trampers.

Plug In To The Peaks

Thanks to support from BMW’s Recharge in Nature project working across the UK’s national parks, this year will see us welcome our very first EV charge points at several National Park Authority locations.

Beginning with Millers Dale car park and Tideswell Dale car park, chargers for guest use will also be coming to Edale’s Fieldhead Campsite at the Moorland Centre, plus Parsley Hay Bike Hire Centre. Check out the centrefold map for locations of these new chargers, all of which are expected to be in place by the summer.

You ‘Pay as you Go’ for your charge at each location in a dedicated bay and all charging fees are received by the National Park for investment in the sites where they are based. Our chargers are provided by Pod Point. Check zap-map.com for locations, types and prices of charge points as well as a useful journey planner.

SADDLE-UP AT HARTINGTON STATION

Did you know our Hartington Station car park also has dedicated horse-riding facilities for users right next to the Tissington Trail?

A popular choice with riders and organised groups bringing their own horses to enjoy on the trail, the facilities include shelters, tackingup areas, mounting blocks and designated horsebox parking. The facilities then allow direct access on to the trail itself without the need to use local roads or other routes. If you do choose to visit these free facilities please ensure any areas used are mucked-out before you leave.

Similar facilities are also available at Torside car park on the Longdendale Trail.
