Access to Walled Garden
Posted: 04/07/2023 by Ffiona Jones
The Walled Garden is not currently open to the public due to health and safety issues. However, it is being used daily by our gardeners and horticultural volunteers to grow produce for use in Stacey’s Kitchen.
We do include access to the Walled Garden on our regular Guided Tours and during special events, if the weather allows. Please check the ‘What’s On’ page for further details.
We are sorry but there is no disabled access at this time.
If you happen to see the door open and there isn’t a sign saying that it’s open to the public, we would be grateful if you could refrain from entering.
Thank you for your cooperation.
