Accessibility details

Many of our pathways throughout the gardens are flat but fall away steeply in places. The lower half of the gardens should be avoided by wheelchair users and those with restricted mobility or limited fitness. The return journey is uphill, and although there are benches throughout the estate, it requires a good level of fitness and mobility to walk back to the reception and car park.
