Woodland View Welcomes Disabled Anglers
Woodland View Fishery has been developed with disabled anglers in mind.
Each pool is fully accessible and in most cases anglers can park very close to their chosen peg.
In addition, each peg is constructed from concrete with a safety lip at the front. They are all designed to take a wheelchair.
To ensure maximum comfort, help is always available to anyone who needs assistance in getting to their peg.
Perhaps that's why a lot of disabled matches are held at Woodlands throughout the year.
The main Cafeteria building at Woodland View incorporates wide doors and a ramp for easy wheelchair access as well as disabled toilet facilities.
Woodland View Fishery is working with BDAA to continue to improve our facilities for Disabled Anglers.
Harvey Thompson has given us the following feedback on his Fishing day at Woodlands during September 2010.
"I came to your venue for the first time last Wednesday. I suffer from arthritus so access at many venues is tricky. I have been to many places these last few years but non as good as yours. The welcome that I received was friendly and the fishing was absolutely the best I've ever had. I am 41 and have been fishing for 20 odd years. Needless to say I will be back, my only problem is I cannot fish in the cold due to my illness, I just wish that I had found you in April. Once again thanks for the best day ever"
