Access & Accessibility
The walk from Pilgrims Lane, Davy Down isn’t accessible for wheelchairs or large pushchairs due to the mixture of made and unmade paths, uneven surfaces and steps and slopes. However, the end-point at St Clement’s where we’ll gather for refreshments and a talk from Thurrock Local History society on the site’s connection to Pilgrim routes through Thurrock is accessible, including for wheelchairs and large pushchairs. T100 walks are of different lengths and on varying terrain. Some are mainly on footpaths, and others mainly on footpaths where ground may be uneven. We have designed our programme with accessibility in mind so we hope that there is something for everyone to enjoy. If you would like to discuss this please contact hello@t100festival.co.uk
