Access to visitor centre
The visitor centre is 350 m from the car park along a wide, rolled stone path with a short section of 1:15 gradient. A 1:20 ramp gives access to the centre. The Osprey Centre and associated facilities have undergone full RSPB DDA audit.
The Osprey Centre is all on one level with no steps or ramps. There are low-mounted optics and interpretative materials for wheelchair users, and there are a number of different height viewing slots that provide excellent views of nesting ospreys.
Live CCTV pictures of the nest are relayed back to the centre and staff describe what is happening. Telescopes and binoculars are also available to use. Seats are available. Information displays with some tactile elements are easily accessible. The shop is fully accessible to wheelchair users and staff are available to help with purchases.
Gift shop aisles and display counters are accessible to wheelchairs.
