WWT Llanelli Wetlands

Excellent accessibility to Peter Scott nature reserve featuring a birds of the world side with tarmac paths and close ups of the birds and a wild side which still has accessible hides and very good surfaces. Ignore 'unsuitable for wheelchair' signs on some paths, they are all fine.

DIsabled parking only provide a basic 2400mm width, which was not enough to allow wheelchair user to get to the side of the car. Width of entrance door was exactly the same width of the wheelchair which meant it was a struggle to get in, although staff offered to open a side gate if we were not able to manage it. There was two other doors, just after the entrance, and leaving the building to the outside of the attraction with normal width manually operated doors. Some of the paths were marked with signs saying that wheelchair users were not welcome, even though ignoring the signs and going down those paths showed there was absolutely no reason why they should try to prevent wheelchair users from going down them. Lots of manually operated gates, which makes it essential to have a carer to assist you. A behind the scenes experience of seeing ducklings, the space provided was insufficient for wheelchair users, and no alternatives offered. No facilities offered for hearing impaired visitors, had difficulties hearing volunteers during a behind the scenes tour of the ducklings. It wasn't all bad, there was lots of good things too... Venue offered a free carer ticket without having to ask for it, and disabled admission price had a discount over the full price tickets. Lots of hides had lower viewing points ideal for wheelchair access. Was able to see all aisles of the shop, and also able to enjoy the restaurant. Most paths are well constructed for wheelchairs, with just one path noted that was not suitable for wheelchairs (there was no signs for this path to indicate it's non-suitability)

We have been taking my disabled daughter here since she was very young and she is now in her 20's and continues to love visiting regularly. There is never any problem with her carers being allowed entry for free with our membership card. There are many interesting wheelchair accessible paths through a varied landscape with many ponds with a great variety of wildfowl. The wheelchair accessible centre includes a cafe which has good food and snacks and the whole atmosphere is very relaxed throughout, with friendly helpful staff and interesting things to look at. You can bring a picnic and eat inside or out. If the weather is not good you can sit inside and view lots of ducks though the large windows. There are a range of activites for children too and a good gift shop. The only drawback is the standard disabled toilet, without change bed and hoist which limits our time there.
