We pride ourselves in being a site that has excellent facilities and access and we do our best to ensure that everyone can enjoy Westonbirt Arboretum.
Disabled access and admission
The concession rate applies to disabled visitors (see admission prices) and one carer per visitor can enter free of charge. Disabled parking spaces are located near to Westonbirt's main facilities.
Scooters and wheelchairs are available free of charge to hire and can be found at the Visitor Services building next to the Great Oak Hall.
We have nine electric scooters and five manual wheelchairs. Please book these by calling 01666 881 218 (during busy periods, such as autumn, it is wise to book weeks in advance).
All hard paths are accessible for wheelchairs and scooters and buggies. Trails off the paths are accessible depending on weather conditions but can be unsuitable in wet conditions due to mud. Please note that due to the terrain we do not advise the use of three wheel electric scooters.
Disabled toilets
There are two disabled toilets onsite. One is next to The Great Oak Hall and the other is next to Maples restaurant.
Family facilities
Bottles and baby food can be warmed up in the customer microwave at Maples restaurant and a baby changing area is located next to the restaurant.
The hard paths of the arboretum are accessible for buggies and we have the special Exploratree playground next to the Courtyard Cafe for under 5s.
