You’ll start with a short training session before taking on these incredible trails on probably our most scenic Segway experience, still fun if enveloped in cloud! It’s a truly exhilarating way to spend time outdoors appreciating the beautiful nature around you, all with the support of our trained instructors.
This is a brilliant experience for adults and kids (over 45kg) alike. Perfect for family days out, getting outdoors with your mates or for some forest ‘me time’.

All participants must weigh a minimum of 7 stone or 45kg. This is to enable the participant to be able to safely operate the Segway which is controlled through shifting your body weight. Anyone who does not meet this requirement may not be able to safely stop the machine which would put themselves and others at risk. The maximum weight is 18.4 stone or 117kg.

We have space for small items at the cabin, but storage is not secure, so belongings are left at your own risk. We recommend bringing as little as possible and any bags to be left in your vehicle if you arrive by car.
Toilets are available at the visitor centre, just a short walk from our cabin. There are no toilets out on the course, so we recommend using them before starting your activity.
