Amber — some concerns
Independent assessmentThe principal attractions include accessible support, but House transfer requirements and difficult garden surfaces create material limitations.
Burghley provides accessible parking and toilets, manual wheelchairs, sensory resources, accessible lower-level play features and free carer admission. State Room and Orangery access relies on stairlifts that require an independent or companion-assisted transfer, scooters cannot go upstairs, and gravel or uneven pathless areas can restrict garden access.
