*The route is uneven but mostly on level or slightly sloping paths which can be managed by most light wheelchairs and pushchairs.
**All walkers please take care, bring torches and bring appropriate footwear; children must be accompanied by an adult.
***Dogs are welcome on the bat walk but must stay outside the Beckly Centre in the courtyard.
