Accessibility
Denbies Hillside is an ideal place to stop for lunch or a picnic if you struggle to walk long distances, with lunch tables right next to the car park. To access the lunch area, you open a gate and walk around 30 metres; this area would not be suitable for standard wheelchairs as the ground is bumpy and can be muddy after rain.
Walking 100 metres down the hill, there is a bench with a view towards Leith Hill (pictured above). During the summer people sit all around the hillside, so you can walk as far as you feel comfortable.
Conclusion
With the lunch area right next to the car park, Denbies Hillside is a great place to stop for lunch or a picnic. Its peaceful scenery and great views make it an ideal location to visit if you struggle to walk long distances.
