    The Newt take their accessibility very seriously

    Money is clearly not a factor for The Newt and the huge spend has been clearly well thought out to create and fantastic venue. Build on rolling hills they have overcome access by installing a ribbon of boardwalk which allows access whilst merging with the surrounding woodland.

    Fantastic! Five Stars for everything

    This is a very special place. The staff deliver 5 star customer service, everything possible has been done to assist anyone who needs extra help. There is transport from the car park, transport to the museum & Roman Villa. There are spotless accessible loos in key locations. A lot of thought & money has been put into The Newt. The staff are all passionate about giving ALL their guests the best possible experience. Please note, The Newt do not sell day tickets, you can't just arrive on the day, pay & go in. You need to have Newt membership, be a guest of a member, RHS members can visit on certain days & I think they also open for charity sometimes.
