Walking

Reduced mobility Pictogram No Dogs pictogram No Cycling pictogram

Mariemont Estate is only partially accessible to people with reduced mobility due to its very uneven terrain. There are parking spaces in the street perpendicular to the tree-lined avenue at the entrance to the park. The museum has a lift.

Mariemont estate is classified as a bird sanctuary. For this reason dogs, even on leads, are not permitted.

Mariemont has Exceptional Heritage classification. Cars and bikes are therefore not permitted on the estate (with the exception of service vehicles).
