Beatrix Potters Inspiration
The receptionist said she didn't know about access as she was new. It didn't bode well that access wasn't included in her training. There was no parking as one of volunteers had a blue badge and was using the only space. We were told there was an entrance with a couple of steps to which we had to drive. It turned out to be 4 steps which my daughters helped to haul me up. It would be possible to put in a ramp here. We struggled over a long cobbled path only to find there was a perfectly smooth tarmac path no one had told us about. It was lovely to visit the Farm and ground floor access is good. On the way out we noticed a gat that would have provided level entry through the farm next door. Even the gift shop had a 6 inch step. Very disappointing the National Trust have done so little to provide access where it could easily be made accessible. I was still charged entry. I so admire Beatrix Potter and I'm sure she would soon find a way to overcome these minor obstacles
