First off, I can only speak to wheelchair access personally. I want to give it 5 stars because it is absolutely beautiful, the trees are magnificent, I wanted to move in quite frankly. However, this is a website rating accessibility, so I can't because, as with many forests, it is not very wheelchair accessible. To clarify, it is not very accessible if you are in a self-propelled or manual assisted wheelchair. As the other review says, it may well be fine on a reasonably sturdy class 3 scooter (I'm not so certain about class 2s). There's only the odd step which is always able to be got around, but the ground is very rocky, uneven and hilly, and even my very determined parents who were pushing tried their absolute best but we had to give up for fear of damaging the wheelchair (and my wheelchair is quite an outdoorsy type one). It was still absolutely worth going because it's stunning, but it was sad I couldn't spend more time under the trees.
Disabled Access In and Around
Poor
The ground is level with few steps however it is hilly, rocky and uneven. It's traversable in a powered vehicle of some kind be that a powerchair or class 3 scooter, but not in a self-propelled or manual chair.
