National Trust Dunham Massey

This place is very big has great parking facilaties,a buggy that will take from the car park to the front of the house, it was very colourfull with sesanal flowers, a good walk accsess for a motability scooter, they will supply one if you book in advance. Some great grounds a great cafeteria. All with great access. Nothing was to much for the staff at this place. The ladys at the entrance to the gardens will call the bugy to take you back to the carpark when you have finished. We watched herons nest building there are dear but on this occasion we didnt see them in the past we have.

Dunham Massey is wheelchair accessible and rollator accessible. It also has both changing place toilet and standard accessible toilets too. I didn’t need to use the toilets whilst at Dunham Massey today so didn’t get to see the inside

It was delightful to return to Dunham Massey on a beautiful summer's day. This was my first visit since I became disabled. I was apprehensive, however was pleasantly surprised how do-able it is there. Gentle slop down to visitor centre, which is step free, completely level and large, with toilets, cafe, seating, shop, second hand bookshop and plant shop. The visitor centre alone would make a lovely place to come for lunch and a bit of shopping. We were offered a wheelchair but opted to use my walker. We were advised to exit to the right and go over the bridge, then up a path (too steep for me really) to the deer gate, to enter the estate. It was quite challenging for me to walk up to the house and garden but I didn't know at that point the buggy was so easy to mount. We didn't visit the house because I wanted to see the gardens. We followed the paths under advice of how to get to the rose garden, which I especially wanted to see. The paths are mostly level and crossing on the grass is allowed. Lots of benches meant there was always one I could rest on. One step up to the orangery. Lots of people were sitting on the grass chilling out, which was nice to see. The rose garden and nearby kitchen garden were delightful. Next time we go, we will get the buggy up to the house and garden and conserve my energy so I can look round more. Perhaps when the weather is cooler we will try the house.
