    The castle is not accessible for wheelchair users but the grounds are fairly good.

    The main paths off the tarmac road are either compacted gravel or grass. It was ok for me as a powerchair user but might be hard work if you use a manual wheelchair. The castle is not accessible beyond the kitchen area. The greenhouse is ok and the Japanese Garden very good.

    Parking is by the main entrance and a well made drive takes you to the castle and gardens. It may be possible to park closer if the castle is not too busy.

    Accessible Toilets

    There is an accessible toilet just off the main driveway. It's not obvious but if you follow the signs to the toilets and peer in the entrance lobby you'll see it to your left. Not great on size and difficult to turn as a powerchair user. Clean and tidy; albeit with an enormous bin blocking turning. No grab rail on the door to assist in closing the door.
