Information about Exbury for those with disabilities and additional mobility needs
The gardens benefit from a wide tarmac driveway which extends from Exbury House in the centre of the gardens to Dragonfly Pond at the northern most point. Secondary paths are constructed from compacted gravel which are more suited to pneumatic tyres than solid. Wheelchairs with pneumatic tyres are available to borrow without charge from the Visitor Entrance.
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.
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.
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 could drive the scooter safely.
Bays for blue badge holders are available at the front of the main car park nearest to the Visitor Entrance.
Exbury's railway has four carriages adapted to accommodate wheelchairs.
Groups requiring more than one accessible carriage are asked to advise us in advance.
