Visitor Information

There will be a clearly marked one-way system around the garden.

Please observe social distancing.

If you have symptoms of Coronavirus (high temperature, new continuous cough, loss of taste or smell), please don’t visit – we’ll still be here to welcome you when you’re symptom free again!

Free guided heritage tours around the garden run during busier times.

The companion of a disabled visitor is admitted free of charge, but please be aware that the garden is difficult for visitors who are solely reliant on a wheelchair due to the narrow paths and gravel surfaces.

Unfortunately we are unable to allow dogs or any other pets at York Gate, apart from assistance dogs.
