Overall Rating

Excellent

An excellent day out. Carers have free entry Great wheelchair accessibility in all areas. Helpful and friendly staff Lovely big cafe with room to get around with table service - great cakes too!

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

The centre hire out mobility scooters but do not recommend they be taken into the hides. Most of the paths are hard tarmac surfaces, the occasional bit is hard packed gravel/soil and there are some areas of boardwalk - well maintained with only small gaps between the boards. There was good signage in all areas and benches in most areas to rest There are several hides around the centre and all but one was wheelchair accessible by either lift or ramp. All have low level windows to enable viewing from wheelchair height.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

I drove, it is in a rural location and I'm not sure if it is on a bus route. There are 17 Blue Badge parking spaces and parking is free for BB holders

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

There are several accessible toilets - all roomy with good grabrails and very clean and tidy. There is a changing places toilet
