Accessibility at Melford Hall
We want to make sure that whole of Melford Hall, including the Hall, the gardens and the parkland, is accessible for all visitors. The property we care for presents challenges in creating access for all across the many different areas but we are taking steps to ensure that as many people as possible are able to experience Melford Hall's history and natural beauty.
