Disability access level - no wheelchair access

Although the walk is step-free, there are raised wooden bars all the way along the track for drainage. This makes wheelchair access very difficult.

Hard access is via steps or a steep slope, or you'll have to move across a rough surface with obstacles such as potholes, tree roots, and rocks. Assistance will be necessary.
