- Due to the landscape and nature of the property, some garden paths are unmade, gravelled or cobbled with bumpy and uneven surfaces. Some surfaces may also be slippery when wet. We suggest wearing sturdy shoes or wellington boots and suitable outdoor clothing, especially in wet weather.
- Wheelchairs are not available to hire, but guests are welcome to bring their own wheelchair to Highgrove. Please ensure that it is suitable for uneven ground (see above). Wheelchair users must also be accompanied by a strong companion.
- Mobility scooters are not available to hire from us at Highgrove, but guests are welcome to bring their own mobility scooters. Please ensure that it is suitable for uneven ground (see above). A local company, Optimum Mobility, can arrange the hire of mobility scooters and will deliver the scooter to Highgrove in advance of your tour. Tel 01666 840060
