Accessibility
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.
NEW LANARK ACCESSIBILITY GUIDE
The main Visitor Centre car park is located above New Lanark just off the main access
road. From here it is approximately 5-10 minutes’ walk down to the Village. Visitors who
may have difficulty in negotiating the footpath to and from the car park may park in the
Village but, where possible, the driver should drop off (and pick up) passengers and return
to park in the main car park for the duration of the 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
