We aim to ensure that everyone, irrespective of age, ability, culture or background, feels welcome in our countryside facilities and has an equal opportunity to discover, enjoy and benefit from them.
- Our Country Parks provide safe, managed areas, offering well maintained paths and specially designed features such as signs and seats which confirm to the BT Countryside for All access guidelines.
- The guidelines were devised with disabled people to help countryside managers ensure that their facilities and activities are accessible to everyone.
- All of our country parks have disabled parking areas situated near to accessible toilets and visitor centres, and each has a manual wheelchair available for free loan.
- our award winning national demonstration centre of "Countryside For All", has electric "buggies" available for hire. Also available at Brixworth Country Park are two specialist bicycles for use with disabled passengers.
- All visitor centres have a Language Line Service for those visitors needing help in other languages.
- Because we know that visitors may encounter many barriers when accessing the countryside, we want to ensure that the biggest barrier of all – attitude – is not a problem at our country parks.
- Our Countryside Rangers are all trained and experienced in providing activities for people of all abilities, so please do not hesitate to ask them if you need any help.
