Jarvis Access status

Amber — some concerns

Independent assessment

The formal garden has strong accessible routes and equipment, but much of the 568-acre estate has difficult terrain or scooter restrictions.

Why this rating

Wide hard paths, Changing Places, wheelchair loans, reservable scooters and a shuttle buggy serve the core garden. Outer routes can be steep, uneven or slippery, scooters are restricted on some routes and equipment should be booked in advance.
