I’ve seen dogs there when we’ve been

The previous trust spent £2m repairing the roof. It should be open to visitors...

Trainee guide dogs are welcome in the gardens - please make yourself known at the visitor centre and show any relevant ID. Thanks

No they don't but if you don't want to go into the garden you can walk around the edge which is lovely. You can go as far as the visitor centre for a drink etc but not through into the actual gardens.

Hi there! Disabled visitor's are charged the standard admission price, but carers are admitted for free. There is some useful information about facilities at the Gardens on the Visitors with Disabilities tab on the website. Hope that is helpful.

ctions Wentworth Castle Gardens lies between the villages of Stainborough and Hood Green, near Barnsley, about 3 miles from Barnsley town centre. Hi there! Services 23, 23A and 24 from Barnsley Interchange to Penistone, Stocksbridge and Denby Dale run along Lowe Lane to the Gardens. Ask the driver for "Northern College" if they are not sure which stop is the closest to the Gardens. Check out the Traveline website for up to date service times. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, we have a cafe which serves hot and cold options. Soups are home made and usually veggie, jacket potatoes usually available and generally a veggie pie or panini available too. Cakes and coffees too.

The Gardens are hilly, and there is a full Access Statement on our website under the tab Visitors with Disabilities, these are the key points: Car Parking: There is a 5 minute walk uphill from the visitor car park to the Long Barn Visitor Centre. Disabled visitors may use a parking area nearer to the Visitor Centre, however spaces are limited. Please follow signs to Disabled car parking from the main car park. The Long Barn Visitor Centre which includes our shop and café is fully accessible. There are accessible toilet facilities on the lower and upper floors and a lift is available. The Gardens - The paths as far as the lower garden and the Victorian Conservatory are well surfaced and are at a 1:12 gradient or less. However, further towards the castle the gradients increase and some of the surfaces are grass or unsurfaced paths and may be as steep as 1:7 in places. There are some steps in the Garden, but there is always an alternative route. Golf Buggies: The Trust has a golf buggy which may be pre-booked for the use of visitors who find the walk through the gardens difficult, but please note this is not an adapted vehicle and the driver needs to be able to control foot pedals. There is a charge of £5 to hire a buggy to help cover the costs of maintenance. Users of the golf buggy need to be over 17 years and must pass a competence test before taking the buggy out. For more information or to reserve a buggy before your visit, please call (01226) 776040. Pre-booking is strongly recommended. I hope this helps, please ring us for any further information.

Hello, yes it is possible. From York we would recommend coming by train to Barnsley interchange, where you can catch a bus to "Stainborough". Services 23, 23A or 24 pass the Gardens. Service details can be found on the Yorkshire Travel website or on Wentworth Castle's website "directions pages". Hope that helps.

Hello, it costs £6.95 for a full paying adult, family tickets, concessionary and children's tickets are also available and there are also discounts for groups. Check out the website for the most up-to-date information.
