Hartland Abbey and its gardens, being an old house built across a narrow steep-sided valley, is not easily accessible for wheelchairs unfortunately. Wide steps with a handrail lead to the front door with access to the main reception rooms. Illustrated folders of images of the upstair rooms are provided for those unable to walk up stairs. Wheelchair access is flat leading to the exhibitions including ‘William Stukeley – Saviour of Stonehenge’ and ‘Filming at Hartland Abbey since 1934’, tea room, shop and museum. We sadly regret we cannot allow mobility scooters access to the house as the passages are too narrow.
Room descriptions in large type are available to those with impaired vision. Stewards in the main reception rooms are there to assist our visitors.
A small car park situated next to the Walled Gardens is solely for the use of those with walking difficulties. The Walled Gardens have a few steps due to the contour of the land.
We do everything we possibly can to help our visitors. If you have a specific query please ring 01237441496/234.
