Disabled Access information
The Holiday Park is situated 6 miles south-east of Colchester, located in East Mersea on the island of Mersea, which sits in the Blackwater & Colne estuaries and is connected to the mainland by the Strood Causeway that floods at high tide.
Most of the area immediately surrounding the island consists of saltmarsh and mudflats. The park is on level terrain and has a mixture of tarmac and unmade roads. Although the park itself is adjacent to the beach and Cudmore Grove Nature Reserve, due to the terrain wheelchair access would prove difficult.
The Guest Services building is located at the front of the park and is a well-lit area with wheelchair ramped access. Large pens, paper and magnifying glasses are available and a large print copy of our brochure can be provided on request. This building is manned normally between 9.00am till 6.00pm, after which time our emergency ‘On Call’ team take over, thus providing a 24 hour contact point.
The swimming pool is situated next to our Clubhouse and has a ramped access. Access into the pool is via metal steps to the south end and 2 concrete steps to the north of the pool. Lifeguards are in attendance at all times and the pool is the same depth of 1.2 metres throughout and is clearly marked.
The Guest Services team are happy to provide information relating to the Park, local attractions and transport links that will ensure you make the most of your holiday. Transport links to Colchester are via car or bus and for people who have not visited the historic town of Colchester before it is helpful to know that the town is situated on a hill and means that some of the routes within the centre are quite steep.
Wheelchairs and Mobility Scooters can be hired from Colchester Shopmobility. We also have local taxi firms that can accommodate wheelchair users and these can be booked via Guest Services Team.
The island has two beach wheelchairs that can be hired for a donation. Our Guest Services team can assist with information on accessible bars and restaurants locally and can provide contact numbers for the local doctor and hospital, if required.
