Thanks for your question. Yes, the cliff railway is wheelchair friendly BUT you will need a fairly strong wheelchair attendant because the paths around it are very steep. At the top there is a small path which is sign posted wheelchair access and then a relatively steep path to the railway. At the bottom there is flat but narrow access out of the railway to a steep path leading to the beach and shops. In reverse, to get back to the top, it's a hard push back to the railway and back to the road when you get off at the top. Obviously if you have a powered wheelchair it's much easier. Whenever we use the railway we make sure the car nearby at the top because we have been on the beach twice when the railway has broken down. To walk back up the road with a wheelchair is VERY steep. You need a fit person to be able to walk back to the top to bring the car down and pick up the wheelchair user. Hope this helps. But, if you do go the views and beach below are just amazing. We have spent many happy hours there.

Good Afternoon Trisha and thank you for your enquiry. There is usually parking along Babbacombe Downs which is on the flat or in nearby side streets. Alternatively if walking is a problem there is a coach drop off point outside the Cliff Railway Café where you could perhaps be set down to wait if this is a possibility?. There is also a pay and display outside the Model Village which again is not too far and a flat walk. I trust this helps and we look forward to your visit in June Regards Melanie.

Hi, Dogs are allowed on the Cliff Railway at the operators discretion. However, Dogs are not allowed onto the actual Oddicombe Beach itself between 1st May and 30th September. However, on the next beach along, Babbacombe Beach, Dogs are allowed all-year-round. Hope that is of some help.

Good Morning Heidi. The Babbacombe Cliff Railway does accept well behaved dogs travelling in the carriages. Unfortunately the Babbacombe Cliff Railway are currently experiencing problems with their Trip Advisor hence my response on their behalf.
