Do routes work in bad weather?
Each card includes alternates using covered links, firm paths and nearby indoor stops. Conditions may change during the day.
Are timings exact?
They’re indicative and help you pace a visit. Talks, queues and local events often move around.
Can I bring kids or a buggy?
Family notes mark gentler gradients, wider gates and quieter courtyards for rests when needed.
How do I check access at older sites?
Ask stewards for step-free entries, lift locations and surface types. Many sites keep clear access sheets.
Will every place be open?
Programmes and opening hours can shift with maintenance or events. Treat our notes as a calm starting point.
