DOGS

We regret that with the exception of Assistance Dogs, dogs are not permitted in the Garden, House, Bellingham Buttery, or Gift Shop.

If you are visiting Levens Hall and Gardens accompanied by your dog, you are most welcome to walk your dog, - on a lead, please - in the Park. Footpaths through the Park are accessed near the bridge over the river Kent on the opposite side of the road to the main gateway to Levens Hall. Your dog should remain in your car while you are visiting the House and Gardens.

For your dog's welfare, we advise you to park your car under one of the many large trees in the car-park which provide ample shade, and leave a window slightly open. We do provide water for dogs to drink on hot days, but the main responsibility for animal welfare remains with the owner.

FACILITIES FOR THE DISABLED

The Gardens, Bellingham Buttery and Gift Shop are accessible to those using wheelchairs, buggies, or other aids to mobility. The Gardens have gravel and grass paths, and a map of recommended routes is available from the ticket kiosk.

A wheelchair (of the type which requires a helper to push it) and a buggy are available from the ticket kiosk. The wheelchair is free of charge: the buggy costs £3 per hour which is paid to Kendal Shopmobility. Both may be booked in advance. Availability depends on demand.

Unfortunately, due to the number of outside steps, indoor steps and stairs, and narrow passageways, wheelchair access is not possible within the House. A "virtual tour" DVD runs in the Buttery, available to view at any time 10 am - 4.30 pm.

There is a disabled toilet facility.
