This review is especially helpful for those who have or use the following: Hearing Aid, Mobility Scooter
Overview
This is a fairly new venue and has been thoughtfully designed. My husband cannot walk well and mobility scooters can be hired for £10 a visit if you do not own one. The car parking is not far from the main entrance and is a flat path to the main door. However, the whole site we found to be accessible. Even though we visited in December, the gardens still had plenty of interest with wide flat paths and wide-open views, even so near a city. The wilder area was accessible for the mobility scooter but may be a little difficult with a wheelchair. However, there is plenty of space and garden area to roam about without needed to go further out into the parkland. The entrance area, shop and cafe are all open-plan with plenty of space for wheelchairs and scooters to move about. This made it easy to visit the shop and cafe. The cafe was excellent with lovely food both for carnivores and vegetarians. It is possible to park and just visit the cafe and shop without paying for the entrance to the gardens. The toilets are in the main open-plan space. Staff were helpful. Highly recommended for a day out. We went by car so I cannot comment on public transport to the venue.
