After talking to the owner Mrs Ann Adlington, she said she would send me a couple of photos and a small write up.
Hi Mick
All pegs on are lakes can be accessed by wheelchairs, but we put purpose
built disable pegs however most disabled anglers use standard pegs as well as
the disabled pegs, and have very close parking to pegs, we also have
male, female and a disabled toilet.
We have several wheelchair anglers and we tend to go help set them up.
Our CCTV camera system is also good if an angler has a medical condition
and is fishing on his/her own if they let us know we will very regularly
keep an eye on them to make sure they are Ok, i.e. heart condition,
epileptics, diabetics etc.
They also have walkie talkies, which disabled anglers can take to their pegs in case they get into difficulties.
The owners seem very nice people who are willing to put themselves out to help disabled anglers.
