Finishing in the Herb Garden, take your trail notebook back to the visitor centre and receive your certificate!

You can collect a trail from Stafford Castle Visitor Centre which is fully wheelchair accessible with no steps needed for access. The front doors can be opened wide if required to enter the building. The toilets are in a nearby building which features an accessible toilet. This trail will take you all around the Stafford Castle site. The grounds and woodland are also accessible but please be aware that there is a steep hill leading up to the Castle Keep. There is a woodland path that forms a loop around the base of the site which can be accessed without steps, however the path can be muddy depending on time of year and weather conditions. The Castle Keep is only accessible via a short staircase and the entrances into the ruins are narrow. Historic Stafford staff are always present to assist you if required. If you have any questions about the accessibility of this trail, please contact us at the Ancient High House on 01785 619131 or send us an email at info@historicstafford.co.uk.
