Sherwood Forest

Amazing new accessible visitor centre with cafe 100 yards down from the old one, plus a courtyard of accessible shops and cafes. Accessibility in the forest remains good on most paths for wheelchairs and scooters, plus scooter hire available. One of the best accessible days out we have had in a long time. Parking £4 for the day (free for RSPB members).

Once the home to Robin Hood, and now home to about a hundred squirrels, this forest is filled with wildlife and woodland walks. The forest is fully accessible to wheelchairs, and it is even possible to hire wheelchairs for free from the visitors centre. The ground is often solid mud, making the walks easily accessible for wheelchair users. This forest is exactly what you'd expect to find if you took a forest out of a children's book and placed it in the middle of England. Totally covered by trees and home to rabbits, squirrels and even the occasional owl, this forest won't disapoint.
