    Good

    I have been to the reserve and visitor centre several times and have submitted a review. Today I decided to borrow the scooter they have and take a ride along the causeway. The view was less than perfect due to the weather, but I could easily see over the wall (I'm 5' 7) and there are a couple of sections where it is lower. Access from the car park was fairly easy, but there is a bump. The path continues after the causeway , but is accessed through a gate, which has a low kerb before it. The path is not obvious and would not be easy in wet weather.

    Excellent

    3 disabled bays clearly marked a short walk from the centre. You could also park at the end of the car park nearest to the causeway. There are plenty of spaces and the parking is free.

    Additional Information

    I was very cold when I got back, but a hot chocolate and bacon roll (£3.60 and both excellent) soon warmed me up.
