Disabled Access In and Around
Good
A slight slope as you leave car park, but very easy for a carer to push you around, all the shops are easy for you, three good restaurants which will have space for your chair, there are toilet facilities with easy accessible facilities, and the site really tries to help those with various health problems, taking care of those with walking difficulties, a DEMENTIA AWARENESS programme to help those suffering with this difficult illness, and an up and coming AUTISTIC friendly visual guide which will help those who may suffer with anxiety or challenges that they may face. DO USE THIS WEBSITE to help you see more about these facilities. www.thevalleyshopping.co.uk Then click on the heading. “VISITING US”
Parking & Transport
Good
This is easy to find, it is situated at the northern end of the Main Evesham A46 bypass, and signed on the bypass with BROWN signs for EVESHAM COUNTRY PARK, then at a large island with a petrol station, and a Premier Inn, just follow the sign for The Valley. Stay on this drive to a large car park further on, and you will find lots of parking bays close to the shops.
Accessible Toilets
Good
There are disabled toilets, small, but well cared for, enough room for chairs, pull cords and grab rails.
Staff
Good
We found all staff to be well trained in supporting us, willing and very helpful.
