Accessibility of Sutton Manor Woodland / Dream:

Considerable improvements have been made to the Sutton Manor Woodland during 2010 and 2011 to improve accessibility for visitors with mobility impairments. The nearest level access is adjacent to the Smithy Manor pub in Jubits Lane, where what's known as an 'A-frame gate' has been installed. This allows access for wheelchairs and some mobility scooters. Much of the pathways are of a gentle gradient, however, if you wish to visit Dream, the gradient level increases to the top of the hill and wheelchair users will require assistance. This used to be the site of Sutton Manor Colliery's spoil heap and is about 200 feet above sea level. If you are a very slow walker, you should allow as much as twenty minutes to get to the very top. All of the track is now a fine gravel surface and there are a number of benches for resting along the way.
