Accessibility

The accessibility of the majority of our Nature Reserves is currently extremely limited. While the nature and location of each site can limit the facilities we can provide, we hope to improve basic accessibility on key sites over the next few years. For specific information on individual nature reserves, please contact us in advance of your visit. enquiries@herefordshirewt.co.uk

We aim to make Queenswood as accessible as possible to as many visitors as possible. Accessible facilities are detailed below but we would be keen to hear of other facilities or improvements you would like to see on the site. Please get in touch at: info@queenswoodandbodenhamlake.org.

• There are a number of easy access paths with hard surfaces and no steps within the Arboretum so those with limited mobility or using electric mobility vehicles (EMVs) can enjoy a circular walk.
• The car park includes spaces reserved for blue badge holders. Blue badge holders may park for free but MUST register for a day or annual parking permit on arrival at the Visitor Centre (open daily, 10am to 3.30pm)
• Electric Mobility Vehicles are available to borrow to use around Queenswood from April to October (depending on weather conditions). They must be booked at least 24 hours in advance - please call 01432 530088 or call in to the Visitor Centre. New users will be given an induction which lasts for 5 minutes and we ask for a donation of £5.
• There is an accessible toilet next to the Visitor Centre. Toilets are open every day from 9am to 4pm.
• Our school and family activities are designed to be inclusive of all, regardless of ability. Please contact us if you would like to discuss specific requirements.
• There is an audio trail which can be followed on surfaced paths.

There are surfaced paths around parts of the nature reserve, including to the eastern bird hide which is an accessible hide with no steps and low level windows.

While we aim to make our events and activities as accessible as possible, this is dependant on the site and activities. We are happy to make reasonable adjustments to any event to make it as inclusive as possible. To discuss requirements prior to an event plus contact us: enquiries@herefordshirewt.co.uk
