Overall Rating

Average

Not bad reserve but there wasn't much in the way of views from the main paths. The best view is from the top of the hill at the centre of the site.

Disabled Access In and Around

Average

From car park access reserve via kissing gate. You need to unlock it with radar key. Borrow one from visitors centre if needs be. Paths v undulating and bumpy in places. Reserve on line ìnfo states moderate slopes. However path for the hill was too steep for me. Manual wheelchairs will struggle.

Parking & Transport

Good

We drove. Plenty of parking spaces including blue badge. Not sure if buses go there.

Accessible Toilets

Poor

Didn't use

Staff

Poor

One person said we weren't the first to say the hill path is too steep! So why does the website say it's a moderate slope?
