What are easy access trails?

Easy access trails have flatter surfaces and no obstacles such as stiles, gates or steps, making them ideal for people with pushchairs, wheelchair or mobility aid users, or for those looking for a gentle stroll.

There are more than 20 great easy access routes in Kent, perfect for the whole family to walk together and enjoy the Kent countryside no matter what your age or ability.

Follow hard surfaced paths over gently rolling hills offering spectacular views, or explore sensory gardens providing colour, scent, texture, shape and sound. One trail will even lead you through tree lined parkland, once part of an 18th century mansion visible through the trees.
