Notes from the company

What Ellen Smith Tours says on its own page, word for word (we have not checked it ourselves):

  • From here, we take the short journey to what was once one of the largest and most opulent houses in Jacobean England, Audley End House and Gardens, to learn about its past, of the fluctuating fortunes, and life both above and below stairs.

To ask Ellen Smith Tours about steps, seating and walking, use the contact details on their website.

Questions worth asking before you book

  • How many steps are there up to the coach, and is there a handrail?
  • Can a walking stick, frame, rollator or wheelchair travel on this coach?
  • How far is the walk from the coach drop-off to the main sights, and is the ground flat?
  • Is the hotel on one level or does it have a lift, and are there ground-floor rooms?
