An accessible country park visitor attraction with various species of deer, birds of prey and other animals. It's a good family day out with guided tours, keeper talks and rides for kids.

There is a gentle slope from the carpark down to the main entrance area where you'll find a cafe, woollen mill shop and the toilets. The paths here are accessible. The entrance of the gift shop where you buy tickets to enter the area to see the animals has level access. The whole deer park is wheelchair accessible and I found it easy to navigate in my powerchair. There aren't many sitting area throughout the park. However, there is a play park at the back with picnic benches.

There is a carpark with disabled bays close to the entrance. I've been to this attraction many times and never had a problem finding a disabled bay.

There is an accessible toilet close to the entrance before entering the area with the animals. The toilet has a sliding door and although it's not a very large toilet there was still space for my wheelchair and carer.

All staff were very friendly and gave fun, informative talks about the animals.

Toilet does look small, hoping to visit next week. Will try it out for size as my daughter's wheelchair is quite large x
