Accessibility

There is an accessible route around the landscape garden at Painshill. Many of the pathways are tarmacked or compacted earth allowing for wheelchair access. The route takes in the whole lake, vineyard and most of the follies, including the bridges, Ruined Abbey and Gothic Temple. When the Crystal Grotto is open wheelchairs can enter via the exit. Some areas may be difficult to get to unless you have a strong companion to push you up the hills. Companions tickets into the landscape are free. However the path around the lake is flat. Please request a guide map for the accessible routes at the Visitor Centre. Wheelchairs are available to borrow for customers from the Visitor Centre. Please call ahead to reserve one if it is essential. Alternatively we can organised a private tour on a buggy, the guide will take you through the history of the park and you will see the various follies. The tour would take an hour, please give us at least 48 hours notice. The Tea Room and Visitor Centre are accessible.
