Overview

Into September was an afternoons trip to the Monkey Forest at Trentham, the weather was perfect, dry (it had rained in the morning) and not too hot or cold. As we pulled up there is an area marked disabled which is good, but not with individual spa aces marked. The surface is sort of sand and gravel and I. Was thankful I was pushed, although it was bumpy. The area around the entrance kiosk was much smoother but weren't there for long. There is a path you follow around the forest and the monkeys roam freely about you, although I hasten to add they ignore you, which was a great relief to me. I would advise having a strong pusher or power as there is a steep bit. All around are information boards which were positioned perfectly for me to read in my chair. Staff in high visibility jackets also lined the route and shared information about individual monkeys. After watching the monkey for a while we headed for the coffee shop (this was the smoothest surface yet!) my chair fitting nicely under the table. coffee and a muffins and a chat via my writing board took us to closing time and they were stacking chairs around us. I did not go into the shop but it did look like I'd get in at least. I did look into the disabled toilet, it seemed enormous, you'd get more than one chair in there! There are grab tails by the toilet. But no hoist and the red (emergency) cord did not reach the floor, and finally as a positive note it was not looked. A super trip out.

Transport & Parking

I think a person of limited mobility would struggle to walk round here on foot, and as their website says they have no wheelchairs or mobility scooters for hire. The car park is not too far away from the entrance but not as close as the web site had me believe.
