Challenge Trail


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)

This is the UK's first all-ability 'trim trail', developed as part of Discover Wistlandpound. There are five installations designed to develop co-ordination, balance, and strength as well as being fun to use, and each feature has information on how to use it along with a resting point.

The trail itself takes in a route the length of the reservoir and a loop can be made with the Discovery Trail. Join the Challenge Trail from the entrance by the main car park, near the dam wall.
