Overview
Car pack directly in front of canal boat, level path from car park. Ramp onto barge and platform lift to inside below deck. Disabled Toilet accessible on wheelchair- double door to accommodate. Support rail next to W.C Not aware of public transport, drove there
Transport & Parking
Drove there so unable to assess public transport frequency to the area so access based on car
Access
Onto barge using ramp. Easy then to be on deck - space enough for two wheelchairs - manual chair can be provided on request. Platform lift to interior but stairs too. Got around inside in mechanical wheelchair - turning room when footrests of the chair removed. Seating on deck and interior. Intercom communication from driver to let you know of bridges and to allow other barges notice you are there
Toilets
Toilet was male/female/disabled. Double door allowed wheelchair access. One support handrail, right side
Staff
Very welcoming, self introduced and the roles the would be offering.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
It was a very relaxing evening.
