Overall Rating
Excellent
Accessible Boating is a charity that operates fully accessible canal boats and is well worth a visit. We arrived to a warm welcome, parked next to the boat. It is no longer possible to just hire the boat without 2 volunteers so you get a fully supported trip
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Loose ramp deployed to access the rear deck of the boat then a lift descends to the covered interior.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Gravel carpark 20m from the boat but with a blue badge you can arrange to be dropped next to the boat and then move your vehicle 5m away from the canal edge.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
Space is a premium so not all large electric wheelchairs would fit.
Staff
Excellent
Highly trained and experienced helpers who also have a wealth of information about the Canal.
