    Good

    The walkway from Cannonmills has been upgraded and offers an elevated barrier free walkway. There are viewing platform areas to overlook the river and local wildlife. The section from the road bridge into St. Mark's Park has been modified to incorporate a ramp instead of the older steps.

    Access for most of the route, approximately, 500 metres, is barrier free. The section in St. Mark's Park comprises a gravel pathway and does have a fairly steep slope upward as it comes into the main part of the park.
