    Excellent

    Lots of thought has gone into the centre and the building itself. Level access throughout and easy to navigate the shop and cafe. Tables and chairs can be moved around so can set up as needed. There are a few different walks you can do from the visitor centre - there is a specific wheelchair accessible walk which passes an accessible hide so you can watch birds and red squirrels. The path is flat and is a mixture of concrete or gravel. You can access the playground with a paved path but the surface of the playground itself is trickier to navigate…

    Parking & Transport

    Excellent

    Dedicated blue badge parking with paved access right to door. Public transport will be more tricky I imagine!

    Toilets clean and tidy and well signposted. And they had a Changing Places!!!! (Although you have to ask staff for the key)

    This looks like a lovely outdoor area and very spacious. It’s fantastic to see it has a Changing Places toilet too. Thank you sharing.
