There are mobility parking spaces at the end closest to the visitor entrance. Please note that the car park will be locked at 5pm daily.

We have lockers available for bags or large bulky items to be stored in during your visit to the main house. This helps us minimise damage to the collection and look after the contents of Trerice.
