Access Policy
We want The Danny to be accessible and enjoyable for all and have tried to address the access problems presented by the Danny’s original design. Due to the age of the vessel, and her origins as a working tugboat, there are steep stairwells, watertight doors with high step throughs and we do not have accessible toilet facilities. Depending on where we are moored, access to the vessel is via a ridged gangway which can be directly onto the main deck, where catering and toilet facilities are located, or onto the upper deck which has a steep access incline. We have developed an Augmented Reality guide for visitors who are able to board the vessel.
ACCESS to and from the Danny at ANDERTON BOAT LIFT BOAT LIFT:
- Please note that access to or from the Danny berth is via a steep, step-free, path to the visitor centre and car park at the higher level. This may prove challenging to those with mobility difficulties arriving or departing on sailings at Anderton Boat Lift Boat Lift.
