    Good

    There were a few entrances and after a bad choice we found the entrance by the bowls club. There is plenty of parking but large areas to cover. Most of the paths are accessible in dry weather but there are a few stony, rutted areas on the sculpture trail. Okay for a powerchair or buggy but not for a manual chair.

    Disabled Access In and Around

    Good

    Te disabled parking near the centre has a criss-cross pattern which is quite uncomfortably bumpy but there are other paths nearby.

    Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance, Step-free access to most areas

    The toilet was clean but had 3 different bins in it which as usual reduced the space.

    Additional Information

    They mainly use white markers on the trees but could do with a few more signs as we sometimes had to avoid the most muddy areas and go round and find our way back on to the path.
