Overview

I love Alnwick Gardens! It has great disabled access and is a great day out for all the family. The paths were all good and although a little steep in places, they were easy to navigate in a powerchair. Lots of features, flowers galore and a nice sensory type water feature garden. Fully accessible tree house that houses a café and a more expensive restaurant area (didn't use). The tree house is totally accessible and even has a couple of rope bridges that my powerchair and I coped well with (great fun!) The whole site is well laid out, parking is a doddle and disabled entry prices are at a concessionary rate with a free carer ticket. There are a few areas that you can buy and eat food at and a lovely gift shop. Also plenty of places to sit down and have a picnic. Overall it was fab!

Transport & Parking

4.5

The blue badge car park is separate to the main car park. Its right next to the door and is free to park. The car park for non blue badge holders is across the road and has a daily charge. Only issue I had was the blue badge car park is in the same place as the coach drop off area. Not so much of a problem until the coaches park right on the drop kerb so wheelchairs can't get up! I had to ask one to move so I could access the kerb but they did so it was ok.

Access

5

Great disabled access throughout!

Toilets

4.5

Toilets are accessible. They are not massive but enough room for a powerchair. They don't have a radar lock so unfortunately everyone can use them which of course means they are easily abused by people who would rather not queue for the ladies/gents.

Staff

5

Didn't encounter staff too often as I didn't need their help but the staff on the entrance desk were friendly and helpful
