Visit with grandson

We used a car and a mobility scooter. If you have a membership and blue badge you can take in a free carer and your car is free. The distances are quite long as the animals have plenty of space. The paths are variable There are main roads and paths but on occasion you may want to divert over grass or paths that may be muddy. Staff were helpful Cafes and shop accessible. There is plenty of disability parking if you don't use a car
