Safety information

If you notice any hazard during your visit, or if there is an accident, please inform someone at the kiosk in the carpark.

Information for people with physical disabilities

Most of the paths in the garden are accessible to people with physical disabilities, but they are constructed of small gravel or grass.  Please ask for a 'Physical Disability Map'

Regular visitors who use a wheelchair tell us that most paths are suitable for them, but please be aware of the camber on those marked in 'orange' and, because of the gradient, avoid those marked in 'red'. Those marked in 'pink' are alternative paths for wheelchairs or people with physical disabilities.

A limited number of car parking spaces for disabled people are available within the garden, please make further enquiries with the Admissions Clerk.

Garden seats are placed around the garden to help those who cannot walk long distances and are marked on the map with a blue cross.

Drivers may drop off disabled visitors at the tea room entrance and return the car back to the main car park.

Two power assisted ('Power Stroller') wheelchairs are available on request at the Admissions Kiosk. They are recommended for the terrain in the garden and have an optional small motor power attachment which can be operated by the person pushing the wheelchair. To ensure availability, please telephone to book on 01665 577 191 between 12 noon and 5pm.

We hope you enjoy your visit and would be grateful for any comments you may have.
