Accessibility

We regret that, due to uneven ground and gravel pathways, some parts of the garden are not accessible for wheelchairs. We also would like to point out that Morton Hall Gardens are private and that therefore paths and stepping stones are not secured as they would be in a public garden. While we do our best to guide our visitors safely across uneven surfaces, they come at their own risk.

Accessible toilets are only available at the Tulip Festival.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept dogs except assistance dogs.

Places to eat nearby

If you would like to stop for lunch on your way to or from your visit, you might want to try one of the following restaurants which can all accommodate both small and large parties: Rose & Crown at Feckenham (6 min), The Red Hart at Kington (9 min), The Flyford Arms at Flyford Flavell (10 min), or Hillers Restaurant at Donnington (9 min).
