Times
The basics
- Suitability
Children are welcome, supervised by parent/guardian
- Meeting point
Enter the property through visitor reception. The activity takes place in the plant centre near the shop and toilets.
- What to bring and wear
Dress appropriately for outdoor activity according to the weather. The ground can become muddy underfoot during winter and we recommend visitors wear suitable footwear.
- Accessibility
The plant centre is level access. Most of the garden access is via steps and slopes but there is a level-access route and the lower gardens can be seen from the lawn. Please note: we are located on the edge of an ice age valley and there are several sheer drops.
