PARK’S TERRAIN & ACCESSIBILITY
The park is nestled in a beautiful valley at the top of Combe Martin village. Due to the natural landscape there are some steep parts of the park, including the path from the main car parks.
Some areas might be challenging for people with mobility issues or families with small children.
WHEELCHAIR USERS
Unfortunately, due to the park’s terrain wheelchair access is limited in some areas and therefore wheelchair users receive free entry, and carers can purchase a concession entry ticket.
BABIES & BUGGIES
As mentioned above, some steep paths may make it a bit challenging to navigate with buggies.
We recommend wearing sensible footwear & taking your time as you explore the park.
Free baby carrier hire is available (deposit required) – please ask at the Playzone.
We also offer free entry for babies & kids under 3 years old.
PARK MAPS
You’ll find maps around the park, but you can also check them out beforehand to plan your visit.

While we cannot allow guide or assistance dogs inside the park, our staff are happy to accompany you throughout your visit if you inform us in advance.
Please note that the park is located on the side of a valley, meaning some pathways can be quite steep and there are steps in certain areas.
