Shorne Woods Country Park Stile Free Trail

Our stile free routes are suitable for a wide range of users including those in mobility scooters and families with younger children.

We aim to provide detailed information about our routes to give you a clear idea of what to expect. Please be mindful that our stile free routes are located in the countryside and the path surfaces can be adversely affected by poor weather conditions. Certain routes may be better suited for wheelchairs with wider wheels, as they can handle the terrain more easily compared to other wheelchairs. We encourage you to read about the trails, and to assess them if you feel confident in completing them yourself.

Route information:

A flat walk of 1.2 miles (1.9km). The paths are a mixture of tarmac and a hard coarse surface. There are frequent rest areas along the route. A radar key may be required for wide access through the kissing gates.

This circular easy access walk travels through precious areas of Shorne Woods country park woodland and past important wildlife areas.

The Furzy Leas Meadows at the start of the walk is a fantastic centre to explore, with fishing, informal games and a children’s playground.

Regenerating silver birch trees can be spotted along the walk, which will eventually be overshadowed by the yew, oak and sweet chestnut trees growing beneath them.

Shorne dam pond is another important area for wildlife, but also a haven for swimming dogs.
