Facilities & access
Visitor reviews of accessibility can be found on the Euan’s Guide website here.
We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.
We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.
Visitors with mobility difficulties may be dropped off and enter the garden at the small side gate by Malleny House.
Dogs on a short lead are welcome in the wider woodland. Only assistance dogs are permitted in the walled garden.
There’s limited free parking on site (100m from the garden gate), which is not suitable for coaches.
Malleny Garden is an ideal place for relaxation and connecting with nature, and the surrounding woodland is full of wildlife.
The garden holds a National Collection (NCCPG) of 19th-century shrub roses – over 100 different roses are represented. The best time to see them is in June and July.
Wooden benches and stone seats are dotted throughout the garden, so there are plenty of places to sit and take a breather.
There are gravel paths throughout the garden, which is level in the top half but gently sloping in the bottom half, so assistance may be required.
