Great scenery however toilets are a bit of a squeeze.

Breath taking views with a wheelchair accessible cafe, museum and gift shop. There is disabled parking but you have to pay if you cannot find a free blue badge space There are a few steep hills to get to the cafe , museum and gift shop. There is a train and cable car which are not wheelchair friendly.
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
There was disabled access to the museum , cafe and gift shop. The gift shop was a bit of a squeeze to get around in my powerchair however the staff were very nice and helpful. The cafe had fixed seats which meant I had to sit on the end of a table sticking out a bit.
Parking & Transport
Average
We drove the parking is plentyful however there are a limited number of blue badge spaces which you have to use or you have to pay so if a few disabled people go some may have to pay to park. It is up a very steep hill so wheeling up there in a wheelchair is out of the question
Accessible Toilets
Poor
There were two disabled toilets , one in the cafe which was hidden behind a staff area and was difficult to find, I had to go past produce in packaging to get to it It was a bit of a squash getting past this produce to get to the loo and the loo it's self was quite small but do able. The other was in the museum whilst it was a bit roomier it was a bit of a squeeze to get my chair around.
Staff

The lady in the gift shop was very nice and helpful I went around the gift shop whilst my husband went on the cable car so was on my own.
Additional Information
Despite it's difficulties it is do able and it is a worth while experience for the breathtaking views.
