Overview

Pitmedden Garden is beautiful all year round. I believe the main gardens and cafe are only open April - Oct. There are disabled spaces in the car park at the front. The website says it has accessible toilets - I did not see one myself, just the regular toilets near the car park, it will not be a changing places though. There is a large indoor cafe with plenty of space and seating. There are also several tables and chairs outside, which is what we chose as it was a lovely sunny day. Food is great and staff very friendly. The paths are small pink gravel, or over the grass. The grass was nice and hard to push the wheelchair on, even though it had been raining the day before. The top level of the garden has several buildings with farming things to look at, some would be hard / too small to get some chairs into. But if you don't mind a bit of a bump over cobbles then several are accessible. To access the bottom part of the garden you need to ask a member of staff to open some gates and show you around a private path. The lower gardens are very pretty and ornate. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Transport & Parking

We went by car, I don't think it would be easy via public transport due to location. Disabled parking out the front.

Access

Some inaccessible buildings - due to age and size. Grass areas may be an issue for heavier chairs if it had been raining and got muddy. There were several benches to stop and sit, and lots of seats and tables in the cafe too.

Toilets

The website says there is one but we didnt see it.

Staff

Very friendly and helpful.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

There is also a woodland area which you can access all year round. We have taken my son around it before in an all terrain buggy. I will look next time we are there, but it has a few steep areas so don't think it would be easy for powered or manual chairs.
