Arundel Estate
Brilliant Walk For Wheelchair Users. The Path Is A Road Therefore Great For Wheelchairs. Public Can Walk Along It Or On The Grass. The Road Is Used But Not Often, Only By People Who Live On The Estate Who Are Obviously Aware. Dogs Can Be Off Lead Until You Reach A Closed Gate Where The Sheep Graze. They Get Moved So Sometimes You Might Not Be Able To Walk As Far With Your Dog However Sheep Are Fenced Off. For People Who Can Walk, You Can Continue In And Walk Down To Swanbourne Lake. The Solid Path Has A Steady Incline But Incredible Views. London Road Lancashire 4.28 miles Near Arundel Cricket Ground

Mix Of Public Walkways And Bridle Paths. The Paths Are Very Accessible For Wheelchairs But Better For Powered Chairs.
