Overall Rating
Excellent
A really nice spot in the centre of York for a stroll or relaxing time in the sun. The gardens are fairly large and over look the river - the museum is also in the grounds. It's free to wonder around the gardens and you can pay to go into the museum.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
The paths are all wide and although some have a steeper gradient they aren't too steep. There were a couple of pot holes in some areas that you'd need to be careful of but on the whole a very well kept garden and path.
Parking & Transport
Good
Good public transport links, but very limited parking on the streets of York. The museum might have a separate car park but I'm unsure as I walked from the train station (around 10 minutes).
Accessible Toilets
0There wasn't a toilet in the park that I saw but there might be one in the museum - although I didn't go in the museum there was ramp access inside.
Additional Information
A really lovely spot for a picnic! They also do garden tours every day.
