​Access for all

Everyone, irrespective of age, ability or background, should feel welcome at our country parks and have an equal opportunity to discover, enjoy and benefit from them.

The trails are mostly hard-surfaced with seats and/or resting places every 200 metres. There are a number of steeper gradients in the park but the paths generally have a gradient of less than 1:15.

If using a wheelchair, a RADAR key is required to open the gates on the reservoir trail. Please close and lock gates after passing through.

Blue badge holder parking is available situated near to accessible toilets. Pay and display charges apply.
