Overview
I didnt visit the centre, but did join the guided evening walk around the small loch to spot wild beavers. Prior to visiting, I rang the Centre to point out they had no accessibility information on their website. I'm pleased to see they've now added a fair bit - at least for the mobility disabled. The guided walk begins at a car park adjacent to the loch and after a brief introductory talk - held in a shed with a sloped entrance ramp - follows a path along the shore of the loch to a hide. As a scooter user, I was delighted to find the path is level throughout, and easily wide enough for my big scooter. The hide too is small but open-backed and the viewing slits are at sitting level. A single wheelchair or scooter could fit comfortably alongside the fixed bench inside. We saw beavers!
Transport & Parking
Car park adjacent to the venue. Free with a Blue Badge.
Access
There is a short flight of steps down from the car park to the path around the loch, but there is also an unmarked, long ramped path giving the same access tucked at the back of the carpark.

Staff
Both guides acknowledged that I might need help and pointed out how I could access the hide.
