Wear supportive walking shoes

Time your visit
Book a morning slot to avoid crowds and the hottest hours in summer, especially for photos of the Great Waterfall.
Use the shuttle smartly
The included shuttle saves walking time across the estate but expect short uphill sections at garden viewpoints.
Ask about accessibility
Royal Apartments have elevator access but the English Garden involves slopes — check ahead if mobility is a concern.
