    There is an acknowledgement of what if the sure is and isn't accessible with signs showing which routes not to take. There is an accessible bus (which I was told wheelchairs can drive straight on, but I didn't try it) around areas that weren't suitable for buggies. There are trampers available once you get to the level parts. Having chosen to drive to the Accessible carpark to avoid the steep hill, it involved crossing a road on it's bend which felt a bit dangerous! There are ramps around the abbey over bumps - some of which were a bit hairy but did the job. The pathways from the abbey to Studley Royal Water Garden were well surfaced and well signposted. All staff were incredibly helpful. At the visitor centre, shop and main restaurant all doors opened automatically. The Mill tearoom I couldn't get in to.
