Accessibility

Access for all is an ongoing project at Fairhaven. We aim to make all areas of the garden and its facilities welcoming and suitable for everyone who wishes to visit.

Please be aware that not all areas of Fairhaven Garden are wheelchair-friendly, particularly in wet weather, as some paths may become muddy, soft, or uneven. Accessibility can vary depending on the type of wheelchair and the person assisting. Visitors and carers use the paths at their own risk. We strongly recommend that carers assess the paths beforehand to determine which areas are safe and manageable prior to making any booking.

The Main Path, King Oak Path, and Beech Walk are in good condition and lead to the boats, though they retain a natural woodland feel and have uneven surfaces, which visitors should bear in mind. The garden pathways are generally easy to walk, with plenty of benches throughout where you can sit and enjoy the views.

 

Thanks to Gift Aid donations, we have added a boardwalk to our second bridge path, ensuring year-round access. Our next project is to complete upgrades to the Kingfisher Path and continue improving surfaces on the main garden routes.

Mobility Scooters

We offer specially adapted mobility scooters for visitor use. The hire fee is £7.50, which helps cover servicing and, when funds allow, the purchase of new scooters.

Scooters are in high demand during the main season, so we recommend booking in advance.
