Overall Rating

Good

Approximately 6 blue badge spaces in the car park (don't forget Durham County Council charge blue badge users for parking). There are some picnic benches on the grass near the car park, 2 with a wheelchair space. Also near the car park is a café, shop and an accessible toilet. The park comprises a large lake and a few smaller ponds, some follies and wooded areas. The main path around the park is tarmac, relatively flat and runs in a circle around the park.

Disabled Access In and Around

Good

No problems navigating the park with an electric wheelchair. There are a number of park benches dotted around the site.

The only staff we spoke to were in the café. They seemed pleasant enough.
