Caerddaniel Holiday Home Park Disability Discrimination Act Disabled Access Statements : Caerddaniel Holiday Home Park is an elevated Park which has 345 pitches (5 Hire), 9 Seasonal Touring Pitches and accepts tents without electric hook-up facility. The Park slopes towards the beach and sea and is on a medium gradient which would make it hard for those with walking difficulties or in wheelchairs to go directly to the beach. There is however a much more gentle way, but it would take longer. It is only a minute drive from anywhere on the Park to the beach. Getting to Caerddaniel Own Transport Caerddaniel Holiday Home Park is 2.5 miles north of Barmouth and is situated on the main coastal road (A496) between Barmouth and Harlech. From Barmouth, you head north towards Harlech passing through Llanaber. Keep going along this main road until you see a very long straight stretch. Caerddaniel is the next two entrances on the left. From Harlech, continue south along the main road passing through Llanbedr, Dyffryn and Tal-y-Bont, until you reach a long stretch with the Wayside Inn on the left hand side. Caerddaniel is the next two entranced on the right. Public Transport The nearest Train Station is Llanaber, however this is a requested stop and has a steep hill to the main road and a 1 mile walk to Caerddaniel. It is advisable to disembark at Barmouth Train Station as it has its own disabled access facilities. From there the Bus Station is just a hundred yards away and visible from the Train Station. The Bus Stop for Caerddaniel Holiday Home is on the main A496 Barmouth to Harlech Road, and right on the Main Entrance. Barmouth is the best place to join the public transport system. Ask the driver for Caerddaniel Holiday Home Park. Caerddaniel Entrances Caerddaniel can clearly be seen from both directions on the main road and is on the long straight stretch part of the A496 in Llanaber. It has two entrances and is clearly signposted. Access to the Park via these entrances is not restricted and visibility is very good. Both entrances have a medium slope tarmaced road leading down to Reception. Park Roads The Park roads are tarmac and link to all areas. There are no pavements, and the roads are white lined. There are some low speed bumps in some areas of the Park which operates a general 10MPH speed limit (5MPH where stated). There is full lighting around the Park on the roads. Holiday Homes The Holiday Homes that are for hire are situated together at the top of the Park overlooking Cardigan Bay and the surrounding area. There is parking adjacent to these units and a balcony to the Holiday Home door (See Access Statements For Hire Holiday Homes). Camping Areas Caerddaniel has camping fields which are all on a gradient, however some areas are steeper than others. These areas are grassy and do vary depending on where you are on the Park. Disabled people would find the tops of the camping area to be very awkward and are recommended to camp lower down. There are no designated camping pitches anywhere on Caerddaniel and reservations can not be made. The camping areas do not have roads on them but vehicles can drive on the grass to reach the preferred spot. Parking is allowed adjacent to tents.
