Accessibility
New Lanark Visitor Centre welcomes all visitors.
We regularly welcome people with a range of access requirements, and many areas of the site can be fully accessed and enjoyed. Set within a historic village in a steep-sided valley beside the Falls of Clyde, the landscape is an important part of what makes New Lanark special. Some routes include slopes, uneven surfaces and changes in level, which may affect how people choose to move around the site.
