Mobility

Stirley is a former working farm which consists of wide-ranging vistas, hills and meadows. The ground around the reserve can be uneven and hilly. The main hub around the car park and buildings is fairly flat, and there is an accessible toilet located here, as well as a full toilet block. This event will take place inside our restored barn and out in our Garden of Stars which is a short walk from the barn. The path to the garden is uneven in places.
