The interior is wheelchair-friendly with no steps and around the Barn the ground is wheelchair-friendly and mostly level.

From May to September, the entrance to the Café and Shop changes to go through the arch, with parking in the “Christmas Tree” area, rather than entering by the meadow and sunken garden. This is because the Barn is used for private events and weddings during these months. Signs will show you where to go.

Accessibility

Rougham Estate walks have been designed to be used by able bodied walkers; they are often on uneven terrain, with stiles and tracks through woods. Increasing levels of physical impairment will make these walks increasingly inaccessible.
For those using self-propelled wheelchairs unexpected blockages such as fallen trees and branches can rapidly render a route impassible. The Rougham Estate does its best to keep routes clear but cannot guarantee that any path is fully accessible at any time.

Please see the individual walks for more detail, where you can find a map and detailed description of each walk, as well as photographs of waypoints and a video of the full walk, to help you further assess the terrain.

Parking

There is plenty of free parking available at Blackthorpe Barn.

Don’t get locked in! The car parks close when the Roots Café and Shop close and the entrance gates are locked after this time.

There is plenty of free parking at The Rookery.

Blackthorpe Barn is where your cut tree is to be collected from.
