Royal Gunpowder Mills

Was taken by my children. Fetched a wheelchair. Car park was not great. Disabled spaces not visible. Nowhere to sit while booking in. After the car park it’s all good for wheelchairs. Smooth and mostly flat. We saw the rocket museum, made a rocket - it goes a long way - and saw the gunpowder making rooms. All accessible. No time to go on the trains this visit. There is a wheelchair available but we could not book it because they don’t answer the phone or respond to emails. They are all volunteers, and all very nice and helpful. The cream tea in the cafe was excellent. Plenty of accessible toilets. Hope to go again and do the rest.

Blue Badge holders have priority parking next to the ticket office. The roads around the site are solid so there's no problems moving around the site with a Wheelchair or Mobility Scooter. There are two Disabled Toilets and a lift to reach the theatre where a film is shown. A ride on the Tractor Trailer OR the Gunpowder Railway are included in admission as are Science shows for children and Rocket Making. There's a handling collection of (de-activated) guns in the Armoury and Interactive displays in the exhibition. An excellent day out for all the family
