Overall Rating
Good
Lovely walk around Severn Trents Draycote reservoir. The full walk is 5.1 ish miles and has some tough hills if your in a wheelchair. It might be a good idea to have someone with you to save your shoulders. Would be great to try with a hand cycle, I certainly intend to when I get one. At the start of the walk is about 1.5 miles of flat walk alongside the water. Restaurant provides good value, good quality food. Their flapjacks ruin all the hardwork but they are good! The park near the visitors center looks excellent for children. They also have fishing, but I have not looked into wether it is disabled friendly or not.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
My only complaint was the door at the top of the stairs. It is a little stiff.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Plenty of parking. A little uphill to get to the visitors center, but manageble. Again for most this place may be better with some.
Accessible Toilets
Average
Easy to get into and plenty of space and handles. I give a 3 because the visitors center has the only toilets i have found. It would be a bonus to have some half way around the 5.1 miles.
Staff
Excellent
Very good, friendly and helpful.
