The River Erme in Longtimber Woods
Highlight (Segment) • River
As you might expect, these routes don't feature any stiles, and are designed to be accessible for a whole raft of users, including those with limited mobility, rides of all-terrain powered mobility scooters and families with younger children.
You can start your adventure on Station Road near the Brunel's viaduct and head into the woods following the west bank of the River Erme.
Bring some snacks or a flask of tea to enjoy at the picnic site before turning around to head back.
