Accessible pathways, free blue badge parking, beautiful views

The only thing that could be improved would be to install a changing places, and have accessible play equipment. The paths were fantastic, we didnt feel at all restricted. We use an all terrain chair when on walks as opposed to our usual moulded seat. Daughter has cp and epilepsy, tube fed. No issues other than toilets really. You can drive 5 miles to cromford mill for proper facilities though. Loads of parking. Smooth car park. Cafe, shops and museum all accessible. Loved it.

Accessible outdoor fun

We have visited Carsington reservoir several times with my husband walking, using a wheelchair and then arm crutches. The reservoir is well run by Severn Trent Water. This is a great place to go with the family for some fresh air. There are accessible paths to go around the reservoir, a nature observation hut, restaurant, shops and a playground as well as plenty of picnic areas.
