Nature reserves – RSPB Arne and Seaton Wetlands
During the winter months reserves take on a whole new look. Bare trees, peaceful and still landscapes can make spotting wildlife extra special. You’ll find reserves playing hosts to all sorts of birds, you could argue are in many respects better at this time of year than in the summer.

RSPB Arne will also see the BBC return to host Winterwatch at the end of the month. A testament to the incredible Winter wonders and opportunities to see some amazing wildlife ready to be discovered a this time of the year.

The Eden Project
So much to explore during the quieter months at Eden’s ‘global garden’. If the chilly weather is getting to you, from the seat of a Tramper be transported from wintry conditions to a tropical rainforest! Where else can you take a Tramper into a tropical rainforest?!

Hestercombe

A beautiful location to explore nature and enjoy peaceful mindful gardens as you embrace 2024. Plus, Hestercombe provides perfect options for those wanting to avoid muddy paths.  Hestercombe are also running a very special ‘Pay What You Can in January’ offer this January.

Forest of Dean Speech House
Hire the Tramper to explore the Forest of Dean. Hidden heritage and rich nature await and then return to roaring fires and a range of dining options at Speech House – a historic hunting lodge

Of course, with over 60 locations to choose from this is just a taste of some of the possibilities available. We’d love to hear about your favourite Countryside Mobility hire locations during the winter months.
