Accessibility

Specific information, not a vague label

The website aims to meet WCAG 2.2 AA. Visitor access information describes actual surfaces, distances, steps, thresholds and facilities so people can make an informed decision.

The crossing

Changing natural terrain

The route can include wet or soft sand, mud, shallow water, slippery rocks and uneven ground. Conditions can change between visits.

Allow extra time and consider whether everyone in your group can manage changing surfaces without assistance.

Steps, thresholds, doorway widths and internal space differ between buildings.
