Accessibility
There are 2 disabled parking places very close to our front gate (the car park is a Council run one so we cannot guarantee they will always be available). Most of the Gardens is accessible by wheelchair, a member of our team can help advise on entry any areas to avoid as some paths are steep and gateways more narrow in places. We have an accessible toilet inside the Visitor Centre, and the majority of the site and buildings are one one level (some gardens are sloping).
