New Lanark Visitor Centre welcomes everyone.
However, the location of the historic Village in a steep-sided valley beside the Falls of Clyde, though picturesque, is not ideal terrain for wheelchair-users and visitors with limited or restricted mobility. These guides should help you to plan your visit – please get in touch if we can help with arrangements to allow you to enjoy a safe and comfortable visit.
ONLINE ACCESSIBILITY GUIDE: IN ASSOCIATION WITH VISIT SCOTLAND
New Lanark Visitor Centre welcomes everyone. However, the location of the historic Village
in a steep-sided valley beside the Falls of Clyde, though picturesque, is not ideal terrain for
wheelchair-users and visitors with limited or restricted mobility. All our buildings are over
200 years old, and were not originally designed to function as a Visitor Centre. This guide
should help you to plan your visit whether you are an individual visitor or a group organiser.
For groups with wheelchair users, or others with restricted mobility, arrangements should be
made in advance to allow us to plan a visit for you that can be enjoyed safely and
comfortably
