Visitor Access Guides

Capes Foundation experiences are set within some of the South West’s most unique natural and heritage environments—from forest trails and caves to lighthouses and treetop adventures. Each site offers something different, and as a result, accessibility varies.

Many locations offer accessible parking, step-free access to visitor centres, and accessible toilets. However, due to the natural and historical character of some sites, certain experiences may include:

  • Uneven surfaces, stairs or confined spaces
  • Natural trails with compacted gravel or limestone surfaces
  • Activities that require a level of physical independence
  • Limited wheelchair access beyond key entry points at selected sites

We aim to provide clear, practical information to help you plan your visit with confidence. For details about accessibility at each site, please see the dedicated pages below:
