Overview
This was a great day out, even though it was a busy, sunny bank holiday Sunday, there were peaceful places to explore.. Lots of thought has been given to accessibility with: - Good accessible parking (although the gravel immediately around the car is not great to navigate on, but if you're getting a wheelchair or scooter out of the boot, it should be fine). - Really good signage, with the accessible red squirrel trail clearly mapped out at the entrance - Wheelchair / buggy friendly benches along the way It's a pretty, magical place, and has clearly been an important gathering place for folk over the ages, including witches and preachers (I'd rather run into the former than the latter!). The whole place is steeped in symbolism, that would be interesting to explore some more.
Transport & Parking
There are 3 disabled car parking spaces, with plenty of additional parking. Well signposted. However, there is large gravel to the sides of the car, so you couldn't easily wheel a scooter or wheelchair on this surface (not a problem if you access your device from the boot).

Anything else you wish to tell us?
Highly recommended for families and folk with mobility impairments. Just need to relook at the surface of the disabled car park (to the sides).
