Access for everyone 

The National Trust has a variety of ways people can access our places through membership, day tickets or volunteering for example, as well as providing Essential Companion/Carer passes and Linked Access group visits. You can find out more about these cards on our Access for Everyone page.

Making your visit easier 

Available at Baddesley for your visit you will find: 

• Parking – Several accessible parking spaces can be found in the main car park for Blue Badge holders or anyone with mobility requirements. 
• Hearing impairment – Induction loops are available at all till points. There is a portable induction loop available from Visitor Reception.

• Assistance dogs – Are welcome in all areas and buildings at Baddesley. Dog water bowls are available around the main buildings. 
• Eating and drinking – Large-handled cutlery and mugs are available in our food and beverage outlets. Please ask a member of staff if you would like to use these. 
• Wheelchairs – There are four wheelchairs for visitors to borrow. They are more mobile on our gravel paths and can be self-propelled too. Talk to our Visitor Reception staff if you'd like to borrow one for your visit when you arrive. 
• Mobility Vehicles – We have two mobility scooters and an all-terrain mobility vehicle or “tramper”. These are designed to enable those with mobility requirements to access the wider parkland terrain. Please see below for details on how to hire one of these for your visit. 
• Surfaces and terrain – There are flat gravel paths around the gardens, with one or two small steps down to the vegetable garden. In the wider parkland there are gravel and mown grass paths which can be uneven in places and get muddy. We would recommend a Tramper for these routes or outdoor wheelchair/pushchair to navigate the terrain where needed. Please ask for advice in Visitor Reception on your way in. 
• Toilets – Accessible toilets are in the Barnyard. 
• Ramps – There is a permanent ramp for access to the Barn Restaurant in the barnyard. 
• Seating - There are several benches around the gardens, and seating is available in the house.
• House entrance – there is low level gravel at the front of the House, with some uneven and cobbled terrain across the moat and on the entrance to the House.
• The House – All five ground floor rooms are accessible. There are some narrow spaces and dark rooms. Seats are available throughout the house. There are six rooms to see on the upper floor, accessed by staircase which has a handrail.
