2026: "There are two universal toilets on-site including an accessible toilet.
The entrance pathway and ground floor of Nantgarw House are on one level with a mixture of floorboards and flagstones. The garden patio and toilets are accessible by ramp.
The first floor gallery has stair-only access. The cellar of the house and the classroom are accessed outside via a gravelled slope with a bannister along the wall for support.
Due to the nature of the site, we know that it may not be possible for everyone to get around the whole site which is why our volunteer guides offer a bespoke approach to each tour. If you have any specific questions about access, please get in touch.
We have a limited number of disabled parking spaces available outside the China Works for Blue Badge holders."
