It’s really important to us that everybody enjoys Spring Camp and we do as much as we can to assist our disabled visitors.

The Park can be accessed easily by wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. However, the Park is predominantly a natural environment and so uneven surfaces and changes in levels are inevitable away from the built environment and hard paths. Our guests’ safety is our prime concern and as such, River Dart Country Park reserves the right to refuse admission to an activity or facility if they feel that your safety or the safety of others maybe at risk. Some of the activities are not suitable for all forms of disability.

However, Park staff will endeavour to accommodate disabled guests whenever it is safe to do so. Most of the activities are clearly visible and we recommend that you observe their operation before queuing or ask a warden for advice.

Paths and access ways are designed and built to be wide and level or slightly sloping, with hard surfacing wherever possible or appropriate. Large print is used wherever possible and appropriate. Lower case text is used as much as possible.
Restaurant and picnic tables are designed to accommodate wheelchair users.
Catering ingredients are available and staff will make special preparations i.e. cut up / liquidise.
