    My wife D add I visited and with her in her much abused pride gogo elite traveller (small scooter) we were supported well getting on to the boat from Poole, but note D could self transfer, not possible with any larger buggy if you turn up on spec. There is a fully accessible transfer (“sea horse” run by National trust) but has to be booked 7 days in advance. We did the approx 5km walk round gravel tracks no problem but able bodied support (me pushing up hills and over some tree roots and occasionally D getting out) was needed on some of the side tracks. A heavier duty buggy would have managed I think. These side tracks were great fun and gave access to amazing views especially on south shore.

    Good

    See details and caveats in main write up. They had push buggies (not battery powered) but these would only be suitable for a fit pusher on the main track (not side trails with hills)

    You have to be ready before setting off on the 2 hour loop!
