Accessibility
Pros:
"Some of the walks were good for pushchairs and/or mobility vehicles."
"The park has excellent facilities for rest breaks as well as easy to follow paths suitable for wheelchairs and walkers alongside one another as well as cycling paths."
"Easily accessible from the car park there are evenly surfaced paths all over the park."
"There is a map which explains which routes are accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs."
"Lots of walking paths to navigate, including plenty that are wheelchair/pushchair friendly."
"Wheel chair friendly for the main walk."
"For those with mobility issues manual wheelchairs and electric buggies are provided free of charge."
Cons:
"It's a shame the path runs out around 3/4 way round so a disabled person or buggys need to turn back."
"It wasn't made clear (especially when scooters are provided), that all of the trails are impossible for the disabled to get round."
"However to do the full circular walk there were steps and a very steep hill to climb."
"Really steep declines with obstacles followed by lots of uphill that required pushing."
"Note the footpaths are undulating so people with limited mobility or wheelchair users may find some parts difficult."
"We walked the blue route as far as the hall and back and it's very hardwork pushing a wheelchair!"
"Its is on a slope so may be troublesome for pushchairs / wheelchairs but plenty of people do it with ease 😎"
Facilities
Pros:
"Good carpark that could accommodate many visitors."

"Staff are friendly and helpful."
"There is good parking available and a nice shop and cafe together with eco-friendly toilet facilities."
"Lovely cafe courtyard where you can get a drink, light snack or ice cream."
"Tea room, toilets and second book shop all on site, picnic tables."
Cons:
"It was disappointing that the gift shop is closed and no longer open."
"Cafe needs to display the menu outside."
"Considering it had just opened, the outdoor sitting area was in a pretty poor state of cleanliness."
"Toilets were very busy."
"Quite a few areas that we wanted to explore like the gazebo were closed."
"One down side was toilets closed at 16.00 as was the visitor centre."
"Only small range of food for such a big Park."
Parking
Pros:
"As a National Trust member, parking is free."
"As a member free parking and free electricity so can't complain and good to see NT doing their bit."
"Parking ticket machine at the entrance, but it accepts a NT card (Free packing validation), or coins. Strangely no card payment."
"£6.50 for parking but that's for all day or free if you're a National Trust member."
"Only have to pay per vehicle not per person which is refreshing."
"Has plenty of parking, which is free for members."
"Parking🚘 was very easy, plenty of spaces."
Cons:
"Parking is a too expensive and only let's you pay one set price for the day."
"Car park expensive for short stays."
"One niggle, parking is quite expensive."
"Very Nice park, but the parking is £6.50, even if you just stay 10 minutes. This is a RIP OFF!"
"Only issue - car park expensive - nearly £6 but free to actually get into park."
"Very local to us with a shocking £5 parking fee."
"Parking is quite expensive but entry is free and it is a national trust site if you're a member."
Scenery and Walks
Pros:
"A good stroll around extensive park and gardens, not an easy walk, some pathways are less navigable for those of us not quite as fit as we once were."
"Great parkland to do walks around, lots of routes to take."
"Relatively easy wide pathways or slightly steeper woodland trails all with colourful and varied planting."
"A beautiful and huge park with a variety of different things to see."
"The gazebo down in the grounds of the house is well worth a visit as the views you get at treetop height are spectacular."
"The park has a choice of several different waymarked walks to follow and throughout your walk there are some lovely views to enjoy of the coast and the park itself."
"There are walks through the woods, which can lead to the beautiful Norfolk coast or round to Weybourne Station."
Cons:
"We Wish we had come two weeks earlier to see all the azalea and rhododendron plants in bloom."
"Did not choose the right time to come here. both the foxglove and rhododendron were out of bloom so there wasn't much happening in the wild garden area."
"Unfortunately we missed the rhododendrons, which were just finishing when we visited in early July."
"I was disappointed to have missed the rhododendrons in full bloom and should like to return in the season."
"A little light on signposting for several of the recommended trails meant we, and other visitors, got lost a couple of times."
"But the park itself was lovely but a bit expensive if you're only going for an hour."
"Some areas looked pretty untidy as the rhododendron was being cut back."
