This is a short and simple wheel-friendly stroll around the Bat Willow Hurst Country Park.

Easy short walk surrounded by nature.You would never know it was there! Easy to park as well.

Walker review

Free car park. Wide gravel paths so great for push chairs and wheelchairs. Great for dog walks but beward no outer fence so be careful road side. Very easy walk.

Circular

If you have a little bit more time, the second route is an extended version of the first walk.

It still enjoys the nice stroll around Bat Willow Hurst park, but then it crosses the road and takes you on a circular loop around the Grange Paddock Meadows.

The second part of the walk is on grass, and it crosses a busy road, so it's not as suitable for wheels.

Free car park and very easy flat walk to do. The addition of this walk is in an inclosed field perfect for letting dogs run off the lead.
