No for wheelchair disabled access apart from car park area. Ground flat mostly around reservoir but uneven likely to be puddles and sections of mud. East Pentire is a headland with cliffs and involves uphill and downhill walking. |

I believe there are basic toilet facilities at Porth at carpark. None at East Pentire. The paths can be muddy and slippery, please wear suitable walking shoes. Bring binoculars and wear plenty of layers for warmth and hot drinks if you wish. |
