Overview

We went to the Wheel to do the "official" wheel boat trip, but it was a hot day and we were told that our dog could not go with us so we abandoned that plan. Walking round the visitor centre we spotted the Wooden Spoon. Not only is the boat very good for disabled access, they are dog friendly and the trip is cheaper and raises money for a great charity. You don't do the Wheel but you do have a great canal trip. Well worth it.

Transport & Parking

Loads of parking but could do with more disabled spaces, although you can drop-off at the visitor centre if the spaces are all taken.

Access

Good access to boat - a lift takes you on and off, and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Toilets

Can tell you that there is a loo on baird but didn't use it so don't know how good or bad it is.

Staff

Excellent! Friendly, welcoming and very relaxed.
