Overall Rating
Bad
Having paid before seeing the terrain , my pusher struggled even with my help to enter the grounds across the gravel and grass,, only to find steps and rocks everywhere. I was abandoned on the grass, while my pusher went to explore. 30 minutes later i struggled back to the car, under my own steam, because i was cold. National heretage need to be honest, i am used to not seeing everything and i dont expect the world, or even a ramp everywhere, but charging wheelchair users full price to sit in the entrance, and not warning them its totally wheelchair unfriendly is a bit much.
Disabled Access In and Around
Bad
Wheelchairs could get into the castle but dont expect to get very far once in. If your able to walk, you will probably have a good time.
Parking & Transport
Average
I travelled by car. The carpark was gravel with a couple blue badge places, near to the entrance . Not too bad
Accessible Toilets
0I didnt use the loo
Staff
Average
The staff were Friendly enough but said i wouldn't be able to get upstairs, they didn't mention grounds were impossible too, without super powers. I was given an audio player but when you cant see what they are talking about in the description, its a bit pointless .
Additional Information
Im not in any hurry to go back, and i will do better research, before hand in future, I have always been a wheelchair user, and i am normally very patient with limitations of venues, but this tested me.
