Our lift is currently out of order. We apologise for the inconvenience caused. The lift is next to the multimedia collection point in the first part of the building on the left after crossing the moat bridge. A normal sized wheelchair will fit although sometimes we may have to temporarily remove the foot rests. A motorised scooter does not fit.

There are many benches and resting points located around the grounds.

Some undulation in the grounds and paths. From the Visitors Centre, there is then a 150m lightly gravelled path to the house. The bridge leading on to the turning circle is cobbled.
