Access

The approach route is via s single track road with passing places off the A10 coast road; part is fairly bumpy with repaired potholes. The car park is tarmacked; it does not have designated spaces for Blue Badge holders but it is rarely full.

Access to the NDC building is via a wide door and a ramp over the 5cms lip is being considered to make wheelchair access easier.  There is sufficient space inside to enable wheelchair users and those with impaired mobility to move around the shop, displays and watch a short video (seating with chairs and benches). The portaloo is not adapted for use; the nearest accessible public toilet is in Bride car park. Assistance dogs are welcome. Refreshments are not available – the nearest café is Bride Tea Rooms.

Interpretative signage has clear black text on a white background; the video has subtitles and no spoken commentary.  Artifacts can be handled with care.

Access to the beach is via a narrow boardwalk suitable for those using walking sticks. A bench on a platform linking the boardwalk to the beach overlooks the seascape.

The Viewing Tower has wide steps and a good handrail so is accessible to those using walking sticks.

There are level grass paths allowing access around the National Nature Reserve but care is needed to avoid holes left by rabbits and other wildlife. Access will also depend on weather conditions, for example,  there is often flooding during the winter.
