How Do I Get To Sutton Manor Woodland?
Accessibility of Sutton Manor Woodland / Dream
Much of the pathways are of a gentle gradient, however, if you wish to visit Dream, the gradient level increases to the top of the hill and wheelchair users will require assistance. This used to be the site of Sutton Manor Colliery's spoil heap and is about 200 feet above sea level. If you are a very slow walker, you should allow as much as twenty minutes to get to the very top. All of the track is now a fine gravel surface and there are benches for resting along the way.
