Accessibility & Disabled Facilities

Most areas of the farm are wheelchair friendly but due to the green belt location within the Surrey Hills the land does rise and fall and at times paths can become uneven. We offer disabled toilets at various locations around the farm and all buildings are accessible. We have a changing places toilet located in our playbarn.
