• 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 the utmost care must be taken even on this route.

• Toilets available on request

  We are limiting the use of toilet facilities by making them available on request only. As you will appreciate, toilets are a significant risk in transmission of the virus and although we will have a regular cleaning schedule in place, we are not able to clean the toilets after every use so it is for the safety of our visitors that we are trying to limit their usage.

• 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 suggest that you do not arrive at the very start of your slot, to allow you to park and enter the gardens easily while maintaining social distance.

  Please try and park a car’s width from other cars where at all possible to aid social distancing.

  We apologise for any inconvenience you may experience.

• Refreshments

  The tea rooms are open every day from 10am to 5pm serving takeaway sandwiches, cakes and hot and cold drinks.

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

• No dogs

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