Not a good place to go if you are disabled. From the start it all went wrong as we weren't directed properly to the disabled parking spaces. Then we tried to find the park & ride, as advertised on the website, to get to the visitor centre because it's a long steep walk. We eventually discovered the park and ride just goes round the car parks and not to the visitor centre. There were many other confused & stressed out disabled people in the same predicament as us, we'd paid for tickets online & weren't sure if we'd even get to the building! The able-bodied people in our group went ahead to get wheelchairs & came back to pick us up. The wheelchairs provided aren't suitable for the terrain, making them very difficult to handle & push. We tried to enjoy our day, it is good there, but accessibility issues put a massive downer on our day out. Little things like sign posting & electric automatic doors can make a huge difference & is something that the Eden project needs to consider.
