Accessibility:

Warwick Castle was built as a mediaeval fortress and, as such, it has a large number of steps and narrow doorways which present limitations for guests who use a wheelchair. The grounds and gardens (where many summer activities and shows take place) are fully accessible to disabled guests and registered assistance dogs are welcome. The castle attractions, however, are not accessible to wheelchair users as there are many steps and narrow corridors to negotiate.

Wheelchairs are available on a first come first served basis. Please call 0870 442 2393 for more information.
