Overall Rating

Excellent

We live close by and often visit for a ramble. Personally I would say more of a mobility scooter although I have seen some wheelchairs. There is access around two of the lakes on a fairly easy path, some rougher or more difficult to manoeuvre stretches. Fab views. You can also access the woodland trail, this can get a bit wet and muddy in winter though. Unfortunately neither routes are circular. A good place to get some fresh air then stop for a coffee or lunch. The formal garden is accessible but a bit challenging. Don't attempt the paths in the gorge area, I,ve done a couple in my off road 4wd scooter and it struggled on them.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Normal National Trust standards. The house is partly accessible. Café etc good access, parking close by. There are some good rambles for a sturdy buggy or off road type wheelchair.
