A Trail for Everyone: The Brecon Beacons Changing Places Toilet

At the core of the Brecon Beacons National Trust, amidst the striking landscapes of Pont ar Daf and Pen y Fan, inclusivity becomes a primary focus. The recent inclusion of the Changing Places Toilet facility stands as evidence of Astor Bannerman and the National Trust’s dedication to establishing an environment that caters to everyone’s accessibility needs.

Changing Places Facilities

Situated at Bannau Brycheiniog in the Brecon Beacons, the Changing Places Toilet facility addresses the needs of individuals with profound and multiple disabilities. 

This facility is equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, including the:

Astor OT200 Overhead Ceiling Track Hoist

Astor CT Nivano Wall Mounted Height Adjustable Changing and Showering Stretcher

KwickScreen Wall Mounted Privacy Screen

The inclusion of these specialised features ensures that visitors with varying mobility requirements can now enjoy the stunning surroundings without facing the barriers that might have restricted their access in the past. The Astor OT200 Overhead Ceiling Track Hoist facilitates safe and efficient transfers, while the Astor CT Nivano Stretcher provides a comfortable changing and showering experience. The KwickScreen Privacy Screen adds an extra layer of dignity and privacy to the entire process.

Power In Partnership

The Astor Bannerman team collaborated closely with the National Trust to design and implement a facility that not only meets the highest standards of accessibility but also blends into the natural charm of the Brecon Beacons.

This case study stands as a beacon of inspiration for other natural reserves and parks, encouraging them to embrace inclusivity and make their spaces welcoming to everyone.

As visitors embark on the scenic walk through the Brecon Beacons, they can now do so with the assurance that accessibility is at the forefront. The Changing Places Toilet at Bannau Brycheiniog exemplifies the power of collaboration and innovation in transforming landscapes, ensuring that the beauty of nature is accessible to all, regardless of their abilities.
