Access for all

If you have difficulty walking, there's equipment on hand to help you enjoy the centre and grounds, during the opening times of the house.

Arrival and parking

We have a car park for disabled badge holders next to the Visitor Centre entrance. Accessible routes around site can be found on the signs at each entrance route into the grounds 

Our staff in the Visitor Centre will be happy to help and answer any questions.

Grounds and gardens

The gardens were originally designed in Edwardian times for private use, so many of the paths and steps are steep. There is a path from the car park which takes you down to the lake and lower areas of the gardens. This is suitable for wheelchair users.

Adventure playground

Our adventure playground focuses on family fun and features a wide range of equipment suitable for toddlers right through to teenagers. The amazing toddler area even features a Play Galleon boat as a central point.

Dogs on leads are allowed in:

Assistance dogs are welcome throughout the site. Please just ask if you need assistance.
