BUCKLER'S HARD ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
Buckler’s Hard is committed to making its services accessible for all. Our staff are trained in disability awareness
to the latest standards set by the local Tourist Authority and are here to ensure you enjoy your visit.
We firmly believe that targeted improvements in the right areas can make all the difference and we are working with
our visitors and local access groups to identify where the improvements are most needed.
The historic shipbuilding village of Buckler's Hard is by its nature and location less accessible to our visitors
with disabilities. The site has remained almost unchanged since the 18th century and includes a number of gravel paths
and narrow doorways. The maritime museum at Buckler's Hard is on various levels to reflect the architecture of the time
and to tell the story of shipbuilding through history.
We hope that by working closely with interest groups and analysing feedback from visitors we can make Buckler's Hard
more accessible. The following facilities are provided:
- Ramped access to the museum building.
- A continuing programme of staff awareness and training in accessibility issues.
We welcome comments on our services, so please ask for our accessibility questionnaire during your visit to
Buckler's Hard.
If you require any advice or special help for your visit, please call us on 01590 616203.
