This review is especially helpful for those who have or use the following: Walking Aid, Wheelchair, Hidden Impairment, Autism

Overview

Some of the paths are very muddy, the garden of contemplation especially but it's not impossible to use as a wheelchair user. The toilets are accessible and unlocked but the doors are very narrow and it was difficult to get in as a manual wheelchair user. It was very steep in places so I had to walk up them while pushing my chair or get a friend to push me. The food is alright and the staff are friendly.

Transport & Parking

5

Lots of disabled parking. You have to drive up a road to get here and it's not on the bus route and the closest one is in town roughly a mile and a half away.

Access

3

There is seating but most of it is on the grass with no path to them. There are ramps wherever there are stairs and some of the paths are very steep (I couldn't go up most of it.) Little to no signage and if there is any it is small print without braille

Toilets

3

The toilet was on the small side and I didn't have enough space to manoeuvre. It had grab rails and was very tidy though. The door to the bathrooms were very hard to get through with a small doorway and a high bump on the floor (my castors couldn't get over it)

I found it very steep too! Agree about the benches - hard to get to and not enough.
