Visitor Quote

"The collections are looking in good heart, both the old friends and the many new arrivals. We saw plenty of evidence that Caerhays will continue to be a force to be reckoned with for a long time to come and for that you deserve our encouragement and our congratulations."
Roy Lancaster

HEALTH and SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR GARDEN VISITORS

  1. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear (ie boots) for your trip around the garden which will extend to around 1 1/2 miles and involve some steep slopes if you opt for the longest routes.

  2. Slipping and tripping hazards are very real in a woodland garden like Caerhays especially after spring gales and heavy rain. Please therefore stick to the paths at all times and proceed with particular care when conditions are wet underfoot.

  3. The woodland gardens and pathways were laid out and created long before modern health and safety requirements were even thought of so please explore carefully.

  4. The garden does contain hidden hazards especially for children (eg steep slopes and quarries) and it is therefore essential that children are accompanied at all times.

  5. Those with disabilities should seek more detailed help and advice on arrival.

  6. While the Caerhays Estate has taken reasonable measures to eliminate risks for visitors it is not possible to remove every conceivable risk in a woodland garden of this sort. The responsibility for the safety of visitors should therefore be seen to be shared between visitors and the Estate.
