• Accessibility at Furzey Gardens

  Furzey Gardens is on a hill and the informal woodland paths and gradients mean that parts of that the garden are not wheelchair accessible

  Our informal garden paths are narrow, twisting. steep in places and can be slippery. We do have an easier path route if you have difficulty walking or use a mobility device. However even this route will not be suitable for some wheelchair users or some with mobility issues and requires the utmost care by all users.

• No dogs

  Sadly only assistance dogs are allowed to come into the gardens.

• Toilets available when tea rooms open

  Toilets are available for visitors to use when the tea rooms are open.

• Parking

  There is limited parking available at Furzey Gardens. We do not own the car park adjacent to the gardens but are grateful that it can be used for our visitors. However, during school holidays the car park can quickly become full and parking is not available in the immediate vicinity due to narrow lanes, farm access and out of consideration for our neighbours.

  We apologise for any inconvenience you may experience.

• Refreshments

  The tea rooms are open daily from 10am to 4pm serving light lunches, cakes and a selection of hot and cold drinks.

  The tea rooms provide training and work experience for people with learning disabilities. Thank you for your custom, which supports this work.

• No glitter

  Please do not scatter glitter or leave things at the fairy doors or anywhere in the garden.

  Glitter harms this special natural place and has no place in the gardens. If your children wish to scatter something for the fairies, they kindly ask  that you use our special non-germinating bird food, just ask our meeting and greeter on entry to the gardens.
