We’re here to help
The gardens benefit from a wide tarmac driveway which extends from Exbury House in the centre of the gardens to the American Garden near the northernmost point.
Secondary paths are constructed from compacted gravel which are more suited to pneumatic, rather than solid tyres. Wheelchairs with pneumatic tyres are available to borrow without charge from the Visitor Entrance. If you bring your own wheelchair, we will gladly look after it for you if you choose to switch to one of ours.
The Steam Railway has carriages specially adapted to accommodate wheelchair users and their companions.
We offer mobility scooter hire, accessible parking, free garden admission for carers and accessible toilet facilities.
Parking bays for blue badge holders are available at the front of the main car park nearest to the Visitor Entrance.
Exbury’s steam railway has four carriages adapted to accommodate wheelchairs.
Groups requiring more than one accessible carriage are asked to advise us in advance.
Accessible toilets are available in the following locations:
- Visitor Entrance
- Exbury Central Station
- Herbaceous Garden (close to Exbury House)
- Old Tennis Courts Outdoor Café
Mobility scooter hire
We have three mobility scooters available for hire at £5 for either a morning (10am to 1pm) or afternoon (1.30pm to 4.30pm) session, or £10 for a whole day.
As the scooters are very popular, we advise advance booking to avoid disappointment.
Please note that we reserve the right to refuse to hire a mobility scooter for health and safety reasons if we do not feel that a potential user is able to operate the scooter safely.
