There is good access and turning space for coaches. For further instructions more>

The route from Warwick's Market Square is down Market Street and across Bowling Green Street. Market Street is also the stop for visitors arriving by bus. Follow signs between Westgate School and Martinique Square to the upper gate of the Gardens. This route includes a few steps down into the Gardens.

By train
From Warwick station walk through Priory Park and past St Mary's Church to Market Square and the route as above.

By bike
National Cycling Network Route 41 (the Lias Line) from Stratford-upon-Avon to Rugby passes the Gardens entrance. There is parking for bikes inside.

Access
Disabled access is from the Racecourse entrance. There are two specially designed disabled routes (see map, right) but much of the site is accessible by wheelchair.

Group bookings
Groups of 10 and over can visit the gardens at any time throughout the year for guided tours. The charge is £6 a head (minimum charge £60) to include entrance, a guide and tea and cake in the Centre. This is an opportunity to learn about the history and restoration of the gardens with their rich variety of Victorian fruit and flowers, the design and building of the sustainable Hill Close Centre.
