We have a large car park, less than 100 yards from the main entrance, which also has adequate space for coaches. Disabled car parking is also available on request or drop off at the main front door.

The Gardens are mostly flat with access for wheelchairs and mobility scooters however some of the paths are gravelled.

For those who do not use a wheelchair, seating can be found around the gardens and wider parkland, which allows you to enjoy the peace and tranquillity.

For those wishing to visit the House during our opening season, the ground floor is accessible with a manual wheelchair. Regrettably the first floor is not accessible for wheelchair users, however this only makes up a very small part of the tour.

Our Gardens and wider parkland are both dog friendly, we just ask that you keep them on a lead at all times as there may be live stock grazing. There are plenty of dog friendly circular walking routes in the local area, please ask at the ticket office for more information.
