Evans Jones were appointed to complete an Access Audit of College Lake Nature Reserve.
- Location:
- College Lake Nature Reserve, Nr. Tring
- Service:
- Access Audits
The reserve comprises 65 hectares of reclaimed chalk quarries now preserved for wildlife.
The site comprises many miles of countryside paths allied to visitor attractions such as a visitor centre, café, bird hides, education centre and external exhibition spaces.
The site presents unique challenges in creating an accessible visitor experience due to the steeply sloping ground created by a former quarry landscape.
Many of the features fall outside general best practice guidance, but we were able to use our knowledge of ergonomic research to devise creative solutions to many of the barriers found.
