Quiet walk in the forrest

Date of visit: July 2021

I am a disabled person. I have experience of challenges around: hearing and moving around.

I use or have experience of: hard of hearing, hearing aid or cochlear implant, mobility scooter, powerchair, walking aid, wheelchair

Bridge is wide enough for the biggest of scooters. The slope behind it is the largest. It's uphill if you do the loop anticlockwise or downhill if clockwise. Easy enough in my power chair.

Overall Rating

Good

A lovely quiet walk for less than hour even if you do the loop in both directions. Spacious enough to allow 2 to walk side by side. Mostly flat. The walk is definitely 5 stars but there are no toilets and the car park is busy at weekends, and without marked spaces could make access more difficult.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Spacious fine gravel path, mostly flat and no steep inclines especially if you do the loop clockwise. Marker posts with white rings at regular intervals to show the way.

Parking & Transport

Good

Need a car to get here and then there is a gravelled parking area which was busy at the weekend but very quiet on the week day I visited. No spaces are marked so you can park away from others as though in a blue badge space. There is an information board which shows the disabled access walk information and map.
