"Unfortunately, Brook Rural Museum is not fully wheelchair accessible. This is due to the design and nature of our ancient buildings.
Access to the barn is from the street pavement via grass. The floor of the barn is uneven and some passageways are restricted due to the layout of some of the displays.
Access to the oast house is via a grass area. There is a step down into the furnace area. The first floor of the oast house can only be accessed via a steep and narrow staircase.
Access to the stable block and toilets is via a ramp from the car park."
Brief description

2025:
"Brook Rural Museum sits at the foot of the North Downs’ iconic Devil’s Kneading Trough and preserves over 700 years of history. Housed in a magnificent 14th-century grange barn and 19th-century oast house, the museum collects and exhibits the agricultural and rural history of East Kent. Our collections date from the 18th century and tell the story of farming and rural life in the Garden of England from the age of the horse through to the Industrial Revolution and beyond.
The museum and its historic buildings are owned and managed by the Wye Rural Museum Trust."
