The basics

Accessibility

Drogo has plenty of stairs many without handrails that are the only way to get to all of the cabinets. We have wheelchairs available to use in the castle if needed.

Other

The cabinets are extremely delicate when open as it puts extra strain on hinges and joints. We ask that visitors are especially careful when viewing them.
