Overview

Overall the disabled access to Castle Howard was good, however due to the nature of the building, there are some parts of the house that just aren't accessible. There is a wheelchair lift for access to the main part of the house. Hearing loops are available along with wheelchairs to borrow if necessary. There is ample disabled parking and onsite land transport to take you from the car park to the main house. The gardens are mostly accessible with gravel and turf pathways.

Transport & Parking

There was plenty of disabled parking available. The car park is a long way from the main house, however on-site transport is available once you are in the grounds.

Access

The house has a range of ramps and one wheelchair lift,however there are some areas of the house that cannot be accessed by wheelchair users.

Toilets

There was more than one disable toilet on the site with good access to them all.

Staff

All the staff were exceptionally helpful and answered all my questions without hesitation regarding disabled access.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

Castle Howard is a very lovely day out and I would recommend it to all. Disabled users may be disappointed that some areas of the house are unavailable to them.
