A wonderful day out

We went for a day out while on holiday in Shropshire. I had taken my folding scooter with me but decided to borrow one from National Trust. You have to book it the day before. We arrived and were shown their big scooter. It was great. The paths around the hall were all prepared oaths do my small scooter would gave coped but the NT scooter was fun. I didn't go into the house but there was kit to help wheelchair/scooter users into the house. My partner went into the house and I went exploring the grounds. There is transport from the entrance to the main house tgst runs on a loop. It's a lovely property and a lot of work has gone into the grounds The staff were so helpful and we would definitely go again.

Disabled Access Information Provided by Shugborough Estate - National Trust

Disabled Access at Shugborough Estate - National Trust

The Estate is large with a diverse range of attractions, ranging from countryside walks to the Georgian Mansion. Please visit our website for a full access statement, this will provide details for our entire site. To summarise, we feel that we have managed to remove many barriers for people with physical access needs. For example; we run a shuttle service, we loan Trampers (Powered Mobility Vehicles) free of charge to those who wish to explore the outdoors, and we offer a stair lift to give wheelchair users access to the Mansion. We are still making improvements where we can. We have more work to do when considering sensory access. We have induction loops at all till points, offer large print and braille guides and our site is large enough to find quieter spaces outdoors.
