Terrain: A unique and expansive landscape with over 130km of tracks. Paths are predominantly wide, well-maintained compacted stone or gravel, designed for turbines and access, making them generally smooth and easy to walk on. There are gradual and more severe inclines and declines as you navigate the undulating moorland. Expect paths to be exposed and potentially windy, and some sections, particularly on verges or if venturing off the main tracks, can be muddy or boggy after rain. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or boots are recommended, and waterproof/windproof outer layers are essential.
Accessibility: Whitelee Wind Farm is highly accessible. The wide, firm, and generally traffic-free (beyond the access road) tracks make it very suitable for pushchairs, robust wheelchairs, and less mobile walkers. Bus tours of the site are also available for those who wish to experience the turbines without extensive walking.- Facilities:

- Dog Notes:
Dog-Friendliness: Whitelee Wind Farm is an absolutely fantastic and incredibly popular destination for dog walkers, offering vast open spaces and unique scenery! Dogs are very welcome throughout the site. However, it is crucial to be highly mindful of the park's primary use (wind farm operation), the presence of grazing livestock, sensitive ground-nesting birds, and other users (cyclists, horse riders).
