Description
The aim of the project is to improve access to the Minsmere East Hide for visitors with impaired mobility. A fully accessible path will be constructed to connect the North Wall trail to the extended East Hide inside the existing sea defence. The path will create an aesthetically pleasing access route with carefully spaced bench seating with views over the adjacent Scrape. A ramp will be constructed to provide access from the North Wall, ensuring that the North Wall's function as a flood defence is unimpaired. A low-level path or boardwalk will then follow the line of the sea defence to the East Hide. This will involve creating a new bridge over the Scotts Hall Drain and meeting the apron of the hide so that wheelchair access is maintained.
The ramp from the North Wall will be created with granite-filled gabions and a surfaced path. The path from the base of the ramp has been specified similarly, but we would be keen to consider a boardwalk solution, preferably using recycled plastic boards for the decking and structure.
