点评:I’m a mobility scooter user and my partner and I attended the enchanted lights tonight. It was a lovely evening seeing the outside of the house and gardens lit up with beautiful lights.
This is an outdoor event which needs to be born in mind when considering accessibility. I have a basic lightweight all terrain mobility scooter, not one of the serious rambler types but a basic folding one with a strong motor. You do need a wheelchair or scooter equipped for rougher terrain as this event is on compact gravel, loose gravel, unmowed grass and mud. And that can’t be helped due to the nature of the route through woods, gardens and along grassed areas and going over ramps securing the cables.
There is one section that is down steps but an alternate route was signposted and you could still go and see the lights in the section just not travel through it, so you don’t miss anything. A second section through the yew castle might be too narrow for larger scooters or wheelchairs but again there is an alternate route available but my scooter made it with no problems.
If you have the right set up with your wheelchair or mobility scooter then this is a fantastic event, but please remember it is an outdoor event on uneven ground at a historical house and gardens. But me and my little scooter had no issues and had a great time. And all the staff and stewards were fantastic and so helpful.
There is disabled parking reserved nearer the entrance and ticket office but it is on grass with a muddy road/path leading to the ticket office. If your mobility or setup won’t manage this, you won’t manage the rest of the event due to the nature of it and the age of the house and grounds and it retaining it’s historical appearance.
But wow it really did look enchanting and beautiful tonight.

这是一个户外活动,在考虑无障碍设施时需要牢记这一点。我有一辆基本的轻型全地形电动代步车,不是那种严肃的漫步者类型,而是一款基本的折叠式代步车,配有强大的马达。你确实需要一辆适合崎岖地形的轮椅或代步车,因为这个活动是在紧凑的砾石、松散的砾石、未修剪的草地和泥地上进行的。这是没办法的,因为这条路线穿过树林、花园和草地,还要经过固定电缆的坡道。
有一个路段是走下台阶的,但有路标标出另一条路线,你仍然可以去看看那一段的灯光,只是不要穿过它,这样你就不会错过任何东西。穿过紫杉城堡的第二段路可能太窄,不适合大型踏板车或轮椅通过,但同样有一条替代路线可供选择,而我的踏板车没有问题。
如果您的轮椅或电动代步车设置正确,那么这是一个很棒的活动,但请记住,这是一场在历史悠久的房屋和花园的不平坦地面上举行的户外活动。但我和我的小踏板车没有问题,玩得很开心。所有的工作人员和管家都很棒,非常乐于助人。
入口和售票处附近有残疾人专用停车位,但它在草地上,通往售票处的道路/小径泥泞不堪。如果您的行动能力或设置无法做到这一点,您将无法完成其余的活动,因为它的性质以及房屋和场地的年龄以及它保留的历史外观。
但哇,今晚它确实看起来迷人而美丽。
