Welcome to Gisburn Forest

Nestled in the heart of Lancashire, Gisburn Forest is a captivating haven for nature lovers seeking fresh air, peaceful trails, and rich wildlife. With its sweeping woodland views, gently undulating paths, and diverse flora and fauna, Gisburn Forest offers a truly restorative countryside escape—and it’s now more accessible than ever.

Making the forest accessible for all

Access to nature should be inclusive, and Gisburn Forest has taken a positive step forward by introducing two TGA Breeze S4 mobility scooters available to borrow. These robust, comfortable scooters provide an empowering way for visitors with mobility challenges to explore the forest independently and safely.

The TGA Breeze S4 is well-suited to outdoor terrain, making it ideal for navigating the forest’s wide tracks and gentle gradients. With these scooters, more people can enjoy the freedom of woodland exploration without worrying about distance, fatigue, or uneven ground.

One highlight is the Birch Hill Easy Access Trail, where everyone can relax, take in the scenery, and enjoy the calm and tranquillity that Gisburn Forest is known for.
