Outside: A covered and lit patio area with table and chairs enable al fresco dining. The drive and hardstanding around the building and patio are finished with interlocking gravel which while not ideal does offer a firm enough base for most wheel chair users. The path along the woodland edge to the pond and seating / barbeque area has a plastic mesh through which grass has been grown, but recent rainfall patterns have made the ground very soft, so please check carefully before attempting this in a wheel chair.
Table, chairs, and a double hammock will help you make the most of the garden.
