I can't believe it's taken me so long to discover this historic gem! The life and times of Henry Mercer Chapman is so incredibly interesting. He was truly a Renaissance of the early 1900's. His ta… Full review by HappyCamper917

The castle has some winding stairs, but you can opt out of them if you like. Much of the floor is "bricked" so it can be uneven...but the walls are nearby and there is plenty to hold onto.....The main stairway is large and easy to navigate....but the other areas might be challenging on the tour-its an old place and the builder took pride in everything being "handmade" so uneven and not entirely uniform are de rigueur.

Oh dear! I am very sorry to say that this place is definitely not wheel chair accessible. In fact, the uneven steps and small stairs which make this place unique and special make it challenging for many people who do not use a wheel chair. You could probably get into the tiny vestibule to have a look around, but would not be able to do a tour.
Thank you for your question on Fonthill Castle. We allow service dogs in our museums with proper identification. I hope this helps and we look forward to welcoming you soon!
