The Grounds:
The front gardens are laid to lawn with some flower beds at the sides.
The walled garden can be reached from the rear tarmac drive and via some rough ground.  Although suitable for wheelchair access or people with sight difficulties, it is strongly recommended that they be accompanied.  The walled garden has grass paths between the beds. The woodland around the outside of the walled garden has a rough path.

Other Services:
We can provide information about access to places and facilities in the Pembrokeshire area, including wheelchair access to the Pembrokeshire Coastal path. If you let us know your requirements we will do our best to provide for them.
The National Park has created a number of areas of the coastal park which are accessible to wheelchair users.  These routes can be found on the national park website www.pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk.
In June 2005, members of the Disabled Ramblers Association travelled to the area to try out some more adventurous routes in the Castlemartin area and the Preseli Hills in all-terrain trampers.  Several beaches provide special wheelchairs for the sands.
