  • Being in the woods, there are accessibility issues to consider.

    Anyone in need of mobility assistance should use the estate’s golf buggy as needed. If you don’t feel up to walking, please use it, that’s what it’s there for!

    There is a 5-10 min walk from the Barn to the Redwood Grove. The path is mostly flat and is relatively wheelchair-friendly, but there are stones so bear this in mind. 

    The path at the Redwood Grove is wood chippings, and is flat but not wheelchair-friendly. 

    The Barn area is paved or grassy, flat but not step-free at the entrances - though wheelchair assistance will be on-hand. There is plenty of seating available.

  • Please wear whatever you feel good in, and that can be as formal or informal as you like.

    Be prepared for colder temperatures in the woods, the possibility of rain and bring sensible footwear for the woodland paths.
