Great day out and close to town centre shopping
Made my way through Loughborough Town Centre to Queens Park and visited the Park Cafe and Charnwood Museum. The only thing it cost me was a pot of tea and the wheelchair access is wonderful.
Queen's Park Café
For a park side cafe it is excellent. Recently refurbished outdoor area which is now fully accessible for wheelchair users. The cafe is a proper cafe, so nothing spectacular but a lovely retreat next to the incredible Queens Park. When sitting outside has wonderful views of the park itself.
The cafe also serves the customers of Charnwood Museum, which is also fully accessible and has excellent disabled toilets (as does the park itself). The museum is well worth a visit and is set out excellently for wheelchair users that also offers services for people with varying disabilities. Free entry and with some incredible exhibits.
Staff in both the cafe and the museum or absolutely wonderful and extremely friendly.
Car parking is available on the opposite side of the park with a large number of disabled parking spaces with excellent wheelchair access. The car park also offers access to Loughborough town centre which is entirely pedestrianised and easily usable for wheelchair users.
