Himalayan Garden & Sculpture Park

We booked an off road mobility scooter in advance, link on their website. It is a fairly level walk from the car park to the ticket office ( book in advance online) where I picked up the scooter. I was taken through the controls and given a map of the paths that were recommended and those that were off limits. I was able to store my rollator at the pick up point. On the scooter the paths were easy to navigate. I would not recommend if you have mobility issues and use a stick/ rollator or a push wheelchair as some of the slopes were pretty steep. Some areas of the park are inaccessible with the scooter as they are too steep and have steps or ornamental bridges but there is plenty to see from the paths you can use. Beautiful planting and sculptures around every corner. There is level access to the toilets, the cafe and the gift shop. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Well, we went on a mid morning day trip out. Before I start this place has beautiful scenery, plants flowers and wildlife. Just might be a tad bit tricky if your in a wheelchair... As they're are loads of steep banks and steps but I got down using the stairs being abledish bodied with a stick. There is a slope but couldn't see access to it, which their must be somewhere. Anyone pushing a wheelchair or if you push your wheelchair up you gotta be strong... There are disabled loos and the other main public loos are unisex, which was a bit worrying as the urinals were out in the open. (one reason I used the disabled toilet!!) It's pre book online only from what we saw and used. Then down the gravel path to the cafe outdoor seating and the loos. We went up 3 steps to get into the cafe and at the time we went about lunch time it was crowded. Eventually found out there were more seats in a hedged off part of the grounds not just the two at the front. Served with disposable eco friendly cutlery which instantly sadly broke would recommend bringing a spork! The lunch was lovely, nice jacket potato and cheese for me although my mum had a bagal which seemed to be rock hard! The paths down are a bit steep and several steps down to a main flat area which when down there you can walk around in a big area. There's also a little drinks van down there you can get a cuppa and picnic benches.
