Great experience at Fountains Abbey. I booked a Tramper mobility vehicle by phone in advance. We parked in the level access car park at the West Gate and crossed the road to the West Gate entrance. It is a tad pricey to get in but the mobility scooter was free for the day. We were met at the entrance and given a short lesson on how to use the scooter, a map showing us which paths were accessible and which were not around the grounds and a map showing the level access route through the abbey itself. I really enjoyed going for a “walk” with my husband , something we have not done in a long time. The recommended routes were well paved and easy to navigate. Within the Abbey itself there were a couple of ramps and even some very shallow steps which I was nervous of, but the vehicle managed easily. The disabled toilet was easy to find, easy to access and very clean. I would thoroughly recommend hiring a Tramper to see these beautiful grounds. The staff were very helpful both on the phone and face to face
