Disabled Access at Oxburgh Estate

Mobility parking at front of car park, 10 metres from Visitor Welcome. Tarmac surface. Drop-off also available here. We have one Powered Mobility Vehicle (PMV) available for free use. It must be booked at least three days prior to your visit. Suitable for use outdoors only and not in the hall. We have wheelchairs available for transfer at the hall. Please email or call to book the PMV. Wheelchairs also available from Visitor Welcome at the entrance. We also have trike-style wheelchairs available. Flat route from Visitor Welcome to the hall, approximately 250 metres, with flat, lose gravel path. Two narrow archways to pass through but these are wide enough for a wheelchair. Gravel path around moat has short slopes where the path meets wider main route in front of the hall. These may present difficulties for those with mobility issues who do not have support. Accessible route for exploring the estate which follows relatively flat, Carstone path along side of field, across wooden bridge over River Gadder, and on to woodland walk with benches every 50m. Some nice views looking back to the hall. Ramp at main entrance to hall. Large print and braille guidebooks available on request at entrance to the hall. Some areas of the hall are quite dark and may prove challenging for those with vision impairment but our friendly room guides will be very happy to support any visitor who asks for help. First floor of hall only accessible via relatively wide wooden staircase which turns gently left. Wooden banister. Exit is via a spiral brick staircase running down a narrow tower, 74 steps, which may present difficulties for those who struggle with stairs. Visitors with mobility issues are welcome to descend via the wooden staircase they previously used and leave from an alternative exit next to the shop. There is one small room at the bottom of the spiral brick staircase called the Armoury, after which visitors leave via an exit door under the archway by the bridge. This room cannot usually be accessed from outside but a member of the team will be happy to assist if you wish to see it. Alternatively, a member of your party can open this door for you from the inside when leaving, should they descend the brick staircase first and then meet you there. Accessible toilet available from courtyard, a few metres from entrance to hall, shop and tearoom.
