Mobility Equipment Hire
A ‘Tramper’ (All-Terrain Mobility Scooter), is available for hire from the Tourist Information Centre, to allow access on to the beach, as far as Mill Rock, through the Dunes to The Porthole Cafe, or up the Donkey Path to Twitchen, and back down through the Combesgate Valley.
The cost of hire is £5 per 2 hour session (plus Membership Fee for the Countryside Mobility Scheme if not already members - costs £3 for single use / £5 for a two week taster membership / £15 for an annual membership).
The Tramper can only be hired for two hours at a time - it needs to return to the TIC for charging in between the morning (10.30-12.30) and afternoon (1.30-3.30) sessions.
Tramper hire in the Winter months is subject to the condition of the designated routes. Please call the Tourist Information Centre for the latest information.
Note that for safety reasons all users must be accompanied, and stay on the designated Tramper Routes
. Due to the larger, robust design of the Tramper scooter it is not suitable for exploring the village itself.
The hire facility has been made possible through partnership with National Trust North Devon and Woolacombe Tourist Information Centre. Many thanks for their support and commitment to improving accessibility in and around Woolacombe. Enjoy this fantastic coastal site!
