Jarvis Access status
Amber — some concerns
Independent assessmentExcellent equipment and gallery provision is offset by extensive outdoor terrain that can become inaccessible in poor weather.
Blue Badge parking, accessible galleries and toilets, Changing Places, manual wheelchairs, four free off-road scooters and free companion admission support visits. The 500-acre landscape includes steep gradients, aggregate, grass and woodland, and wet conditions can close practical routes for wheelchairs and scooters. Outdoor access therefore depends materially on route choice and weather.
