Our most ambitious hire location to date, you can now hire an all-terrain Tramper scooter to explore this unique and beautiful island.
The two Trampers can allow you to access a large proportion of the footpaths and tracks on the island and enjoy the views, natural beauty and tranquility.
While using a Tramper on Lundy is very similar to our other hire locations, reaching and staying on the island is more challenging for anyone with mobility limitations and for some it will not be possible.
We have therefore worked with the team at Lundy to produce a supplementary information guide focussing on access and use of the Tramper to help you make an informed decision about whether it is realistic for you. It is essential that you read this before deciding to book a trip to the island.
Advance booking of the Tramper is essential and due to poor mobile signal and most of the island seeing few people hires must all be accompanied.
Visiting Lundy for an overnight stay – there is the opportunity to become a member of Countryside Mobility on the island. (If you are already a member remember to take your proof of membership with you).
Visiting Lundy for a day trip – Due to visitors all arriving at one time, staff capacity is very limited. Hiring to day trippers is therefore only possible if both the following are the case:
– You are on a Bideford sailing (this has a longer duration of time on the island providing sufficient time for hiring and exploration)
– You already have an active Countryside Mobility Membership (check that it is in date). Ensure you bring your card/ form as proof. Note that refresher training is not possible for day trippers.
If you wish to use the Tramper while visiting as a day tripper, but are not a member, you should visit another Countryside Mobility hire location in advance of visiting to become a member.
Hire fee – £20 per full day
More about Lundy Island
Lundy Island has been described as ‘a 400 foot granite outcrop in the Bristol Channel’ but this only hints at the unique experience it offers each visitor. For some it is the sense of solitude and escape, for others it is the beauty of the natural environment. Located 12 miles off the Devon Coast, the island is three miles north to south and half a mile wide guaranteeing spectacular coastal views at every turn.
