Is Wentworth Woodhouse accessible to wheelchair and mobility scooter users?

Blue Badge parking can be found at the front of the house, to the right, next to the disabled ramp. We have ramp access to the ground floor of the house only.

We are working with our partners to look at ways to bring greater accessibility to the house, but this will take some time. Our masterplan details how we plan to make the house more accessible, including installing lifts to the upper floors.
