    Falkland Palace & Garden

    Overall rating

    About

    We warmly welcome all visitors to enjoy the beautiful gardens at Falkland Palace.

    Due to the historic nature and 16th-century layout of the Palace and its grounds, full accessibility throughout the site is unfortunately not possible. We would like to make visitors aware of the following before planning their visit:

    Access to the Palace, outdoor historic tennis court and gift shop is via a steep turnpike staircase or steps, which are not suitable for wheelchair users.

    There are multiple staircases within the Palace. While handrails are provided, the steps are narrow, steep and spiral.

    The gardens feature a combination of loose gravel and grass paths, which may be uneven and difficult to navigate for some visitors.

    We regret that these historic features limit accessibility, and we encourage visitors to contact us at Falklandpalace@nts.org.uk in advance if they would like to discuss individual access needs.

    Please note that an accessible toilet is available at the car park in the centre of Falkland, a short walk from the Palace.

    We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you.

    Wanted to cry

    Having been before I knew I would not get around everywhere but because its Winter it is guided tour only and you have to climb up 4 flights of spiral stairs to even start the tour so that meant I couldn't see anything and after travelling 50miles I had to stand outside in the freezing cold for an hour while my friend went on the tour while all of the staff working there were lovely and wanted to help there was nothing they could do in the moment I really think this wasnt thought through

    Not for the faint hearted

    We saw the previous review and wondered how much had changed in 5 years. Not much. We knew the inside of the palace was reasonably inaccessible but had higher hopes of the ground. We found them to be unduly difficult to navigate and left after about 20 minutes. National Trust Falkland sort yourselves out.

    Disgraceful

    Total lack of accessibility to the castle to someone in a wheelchair or mobility scooter Even accessibility to the gardens was extremely difficult and in fact dangerous as there is a raised concrete ‘step’ to get over in order to access the gardens. An item as simple as a removable ramp would have solved this problem. When the situation was raised with the staff member in the ticket office, she told us tough luck in so many words. She also said that ramps were not allowed. In the 21st century? Really? I cannot believe that this situation is not breaking some kind of law. I have given a rating of 1 star only because there is no way of giving zero.
