Hire the Tramper

Wild East Devon is committed to improving access to Seaton Wetlands for visitors with limited mobility and health conditions (long term or temporary) who may find exploring the reserve more challenging.

We’re proud to partner with Countryside Mobility (a charity initiative, operated by Living Options Devon) to offer hire of an all-terrain mobility scooter (“Tramper”) - giving visitors the freedom to explore the site with their friends and family.

How to Hire

The Tramper is available for hire when trained staff or volunteers are on duty. Visits must be booked at least 24 hours in advance. Email: wild@eastdevon.gov.uk

Trampers are safe and easy to use, even if you’ve never needed to use a scooter before. All first time users will be provided with a short introduction on how the Tramper works to ensure you feel safe and confident and an explanation of where you can safely go based on auditing by Countryside Mobility. Allow 10 – 15 minutes on arrival for this introduction.

On completion of this you’ll become a member of Countryside Mobility. This provides insurance cover and acts like a driving license, giving access to Trampers across a network of over 60 beauty spots around the South West and Wales.

Users can choose from Annual (£15), 2 week ‘Taster’ (£5) or single use (£3) membership of Countryside Mobility.

To help cover our costs of providing this service we kindly invite a donation of £5

Save time on arrival, by checking Countryside Mobility’s medical requirements and general terms of use and watching the introductory video. Please bring photo ID/ proof of address.

If you’re already a member of Countryside Mobility (or its equivalent in the north of England, Outdoor Mobility) please bring your proof of membership and we’ll give you a quick refresher of the Tramper before you start exploring.

Please contact the Wild East Devon team to plan your visit.
