Falkland Palace & Garden

We saw the previous review and wondered how much had changed in 5 years. Not much. We knew the inside of the palace was reasonably inaccessible but had higher hopes of the ground. We found them to be unduly difficult to navigate and left after about 20 minutes. National Trust Falkland sort yourselves out.

Total lack of accessibility to the castle to someone in a wheelchair or mobility scooter Even accessibility to the gardens was extremely difficult and in fact dangerous as there is a raised concrete ‘step’ to get over in order to access the gardens. An item as simple as a removable ramp would have solved this problem. When the situation was raised with the staff member in the ticket office, she told us tough luck in so many words. She also said that ramps were not allowed. In the 21st century? Really? I cannot believe that this situation is not breaking some kind of law. I have given a rating of 1 star only because there is no way of giving zero.
