Overall Rating

Good

A lovely long wheelchair accessible walk, including a hide and views. However badly let down with tiny outside loo.

Disabled Access In and Around

Good

Main walk was a good quality path which was accessible along its entirety, a hide which had just a tiny lip to get over and a space inside to sit in your chair. Lots of children's activities enroute, some of which you can access. The visitors center has ramped access but the shop is very tight. Staff happy to move things but shame to have to ask.

Parking & Transport

Good

3 blue badge spaces but car park is gravel so not ideal for wheelchair

Accessible Toilets

Bad

The accessible toilet is outside the visitors centre. It is tiny! I'm not sure that I could have assisted my son to use the facilities due to lack of space and it was very much like an outdoor shed.

Staff

Excellent

Lovely welcome from every volunteer that we encountered, offers of help without needing to ask.

Additional Information

I'd like this to be a regular destination but the lack of suitable toilet facilities makes that impossible for us. Walks are dog friendly (on lead).
